ABOUT THE PATTERN

Nami Island near Seoul, South Korea is one of the most romantic and picturesque locations I’ve had the pleasure of visiting. If you take a stroll around this enchanted island in the fall, you’ll find vibrant red and gold foliage, picturesque tree-lined lanes, wood bridges over clear pools, museums and artist booths, and small stands selling warm drinks and delicious food.
This crafty circular shawl invokes the fall colors of Nami Island, while the colorwork pattern is reminiscent of the bridges, walking paths, and florals that can be found on Nami Island.
