Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, is the gateway for all travelers to that country. While hopeful climbers of Mount everest begin in Kathmandu and then provision and leave, Kathmandu is a city rich in history and charm, worthy of exploration. one of the most famous treks is the hike to Mount everest’s base camp. this trip can take from fourteen to twenty-one days and is strenuous and at high altitude. Inspired by faded but still bright prayer flags on the mountains, this scarf or wrap is made of modular squares in bright colors. each square is worked from the center out on double-pointed needles and then joined. this piece can be made wider or longer very easily. It would make a lovely stole or baby blanket.
