SHINJUKU SCARF
Shinjuku is a fascinating neighborhood in Tokyo, Japan, where the old meets the new, tradition meets innovation and simplicity is captured in a clutter of intricate details; where somehow your vision feels focused and yet blurry at the same time. The Shinjuku scarf is inspired by it all. Made out of 165 flowers that create the lovely sculptured design through the negative space. You will start by crocheting the center of the main flowers and once you have them all ready, you’ll crochet the petals round joining as you go. Once the flowers are joined, you’ll attach the Wild Daisy flowers to their spots. To finish it up, you will frame your scarf and add some fringe details.
