A striking infinity scarf knit in the round using shaping and colourwork to form overlapping circles. Venn is a unique and fun knit inspired by the designer Rachel Castle’s screen prints. Venn can be worn looped once around the neck or doubled for extra warmth.

Venn is knit using five colours of Quince and Co.’s beautiful Tern, a blend of 75% wool and 25% silk. Each circle uses 16g of yarn so Venn could be an ideal project for using up leftover 4ply. Alternately, for a different look, you could knit Venn in as few as two colours.
