‘Shinrin-yoku’ is a Japanese word translating to: forest bathing. Become one with nature when you hear the leaves rustling, the birds chirping and consciously slow down to take in all this beauty. With this scarf you do that by consciously enjoying every stitch. This beautiful scarf in two-color brioche is knitted using Durable Forest and Soqs.

About this scarf:

  • This scarf is knitted in rows: For the ribbing, this means that you turn your work after each row and turning is not indicated here. For the main part of the scarf, DO NOT turn your work after each row. Each row will tell you when to turn and when to slide your stitches back to the beginning of the row;
  • Always make a gauge swatch for clothing before you start to check the tension. By doing this you know that you are knitting at a similar tension as the designer and that your scarf will be the correct size.
