You know that feeling when you travel overseas and you can only pack 20 kgs of luggage for a month. The suitcase and locks weigh 10 kgs and you need clothes to wear!

Do we all pack that black skirt and the jean “because you can dress it up or dress it down”? As one friend said after 6 weeks, if she never saw that skirt again it would be too soon.

Well, this pattern might just ease your pain. The cravat and matching wristers worn with ordinary plain sweaters and tops look stunning. The yarn is light and fluffy and renders a furry look so it would work for evening wear too. The cravat can also be worn as a scarf on its own. Thus you’ll have some more good looking options, with less clothes, when you’re away from home next time.

You can do this project on your knitting loom (or a single rake) or you can knit it with needles.
