Designed for the Dubai Knits Yarn Club 2012. Pattern available to the public on June 1st 2012.

This infinity scarf was borne out of a need to design something simple yet highly wearable. Not to mention something that will not bore you out of your wits!

The design elements were chosen to reflect the “Bangkero Festival” theme.

The winding cables mimic the movement of the boats as they journey up the river towards the Pagsanjan Falls. The central seed stitch panel depicts the rocky riverbed that makes the journey just that little bit more exciting and interesting! The columns of ribbing represent the majestic Pagsanjan Falls itself.

Happy knitting!
