Bright Days Infinity Scarf was inspired by the novel Bright, Precious Days by Jay McInerney.
The weaving design of pattern, with its changing rhythm, represents life with its alternating rhythm. Color combination as well wants to recall light and dark sides of life and love, as wonderfully described in the novel, whose conclusion is a promise of happiness, despite difficulties and obstacles.

Bright Days is a soft, spongy and warm accessory that will be perfect for the whole winter. Easy and fast to knit, it can be worn as a scarf for an elegant outfit or wrapped around the neck as cowl in those very freezing days when you need an extra layer over your coat.
