The Jogakbo Scarf is inspired by 조각보, a traditional Korean patchwork technique.
조각보 combines scrap pieces of fabric to create beautiful and functional items such as storage cloths (보자기: bojagi), household decor, or even clothing.

Growing up half Korean, I have always admired the beauty of traditional Korean crafts and 조각보 truly holds a special place in my heart.

• Size

  • 33” // 82.5cm long and 9.3” // 23cm wide

  • However, this is a great scrap project and you can reference the size chart in the pattern to determine how this will knit up in different yarn weights and gauges to create a wider scarf (or shawl, blanket, pillowcase, etc.).

• Gauge

  • 24st/32rws per 10cm/4” in stockinette, knit flat. This is intended to be a fairly loose gauge, so the scarf has a nice drapey fabric.

• Yarn

  • Choose 6 fingering weight yarns. 355 yards // 325 meters needed in total.

  • Approximately 50% of the scarf will be in the main color, and the remainder is split approximately equally between the remaining 5 accent colors.

  • The sample uses various colors of Knitting for Olive Pure Silk, Knitting for Olive Cotton Merino, and Dan-Doh Silk+.

• Needles: 3.5mm/US4

Enjoy!
