To celebrate the release of this new pattern, I’m offering 15% off as a small thank you for your support. The celebration will run until February 8th (Taiwan Time).

Story of Foldsphere
Foldsphere is a loop cowl that continues my ongoing exploration of origami knitting — a technique that transforms simple stitches into sculptural, three-dimensional forms.

Just like my earlier origami designs, Foldsphere plays with depth, shadows, and movement, inviting the fabric to fold and unfold in a rhythmic, architectural way. The motif builds on the same principles I’ve loved working with: clean lines, geometric precision, and the quiet magic of seeing flat knitting rise into structure with just a twist of technique.

What makes Foldsphere special is its versatility. Because it’s a loop cowl, you can wear it in multiple ways — draped, folded, doubled, or spread out to showcase every peak and valley of the origami texture. The folds create a dynamic surface that shifts as you move, catching light differently from every angle, making it both a functional winter accessory and a little wearable sculpture.

Whether you’re already familiar with my origami pieces or discovering this style for the first time, Foldsphere offers the same meditative joy: watching a simple series of stitches bloom into something dimensional, tactile, and beautifully unexpected.

Let the folds wrap, expand, and shape themselves around you — that’s where the magic happens.

SIZES

GAUGE
34 sts x 34 rows to 4” / 10 cm on US 6 / 4 mm needles in Foldsphere Chart pattern, after blocking, or size to obtain gauge.

⚠️ Note: To measure the gauge, block the swatch, emphasizing each origami line and leave it to dry. Measure the swatch with pleats unflattened.

MEASUREMENTS
Circumference: 42½ (50¾)” / 106 (127) cm.
Width: 8 (10¼)” / 20 (25.5) cm.

⚠️ Note: The circumference may change slightly depending on how tightly you fold the origami folds during blocking, but as long as you achieve the stated gauge, it will not affect the fit.

CONSTRUCTION
The scarf is knitted from the bottom up, in the round.
