Seaweed Asymmetric tunic and Tie .

Asymmetry, one of the major components of Japanese aesthetics, lends a fluid dynamic to this tunic. The unusual crimped Japanese cotton yarn, along with the combination of knitted textures, make the piece seem like it’s one with nature, or part of the sea. And the seaweed-like tie is just plain fun. Made with only two crochet stitches - a chain stitch and a slip stitches - it is the perfect project for a beginner. It can be worn as a scarf, hair tie, belt, tie, or a lariat.
