Vesica is the second of a set of three double-knit scarves designed to take advantage of Rowan Felted Tweed’s new Colour line of gradient yarns, combined with one of their classic solids.

I have long had an affinity for geometric forms, and have often considered designing something in sacred geometry patterns. This is an expansion of the “seed of life” pattern, which is itself an expansion of the “vesica piscis” shape, hence the name. To include the detail I wanted, I had to make it quite a bit wider than your average scarf.

There is nothing in this scarf that requires more than the basics of two-color double-knitting which you can get from my intro workshop (or similar workshops taught by countless other instructors).

The scarf as charted is approximately 10” wide by 79” long, although you can easily add or subtract repeats to change the length.
