Arches Scarf
​​​Interweave | Urban Knit Collection: 18 City-inspired Knitting Patterns for the Modern Wardrobe, 2016

---

The stacked, pierced arches of a stone grill seen in the auditorium of an old theater sparked inspiration for this scarf full of undulating cables. The repeating pattern is mirrored and dances down the length of this wonderfully wide scarf, high enough to protect the back of your neck on the walk home after a night on the town.
