This scarf is a little homage to Masaki Kobayashi’s phenomenally beautiful 1964 film-version of the Japanese ‘Kwaidan’ horror tales. The film is abundantly rich in color and contrast, pairing blood and tears with delicious fright. There is a yearning for exquisite shiver in all of us. And apparently blue and red juxtaposed provide the fiercest contrast to the human eye. Now that is just right.

A (free) pattern, to brighten your end of year celebrations! Thank you Ravelry and Ravellers : YOU are spectacular.
