HARI

針 (Japanese) - needle, spike

This cool accessory provides one with many options. Worked in a rectangular shape just like for a basic scarf using an amazing textured stitch pattern that makes this whimsy a delightful sight. Inspired by intricate pleating it transitions into knit fabric with flexibility and wearability. Wear it as a scarf, longer or shorter cowl, a snood or even a bolero. All those manipulations using minimal of haberdashery but awarding the simplest of outfit with a stunning detail.

This pattern includes written pattern as well as a chart.
Ultimately any weight yarn can be used for this pattern, but keep in mind that yardage requirements would change accordingly.
