Seven Treasures Stole*

Seven Treasures Stole By Duke of Nikko

This rectangular double-knit stole is inspired by the traditional Japanese Shippo (Seven Treasures) pattern, in which the infinite interlocking circles represent the interconnectedness of life and everlasting prosperity. In this pattern, the circle is broken down into quarters. The quarters are placed strategically to create mesmerising diamond geometric shapes and in the centre of the seven diamonds is the Japanese kanji character Takara (Treasure), rotated and inverted one after another to make it legible in every direction and side. This stole is incredibly squishy and wonderful to snuggle up in, and will bring you prosperity and
treasure!
