About
SPEJDER SCARFLET is a charming and elegant mini scarf for warmer days, when you feel like wearing something hand-knit but the weather doesn‘t quite call for a woollen garment.

The idea was inspired by the classic scout neckerchief (“spejder“ is Danish for “scout“), which I have always found effortlessly smart and timeless. That‘s why the design features two straps of different lengths, allowing you to tie it in various ways to suit your style for the day: You can either tie it with a classic necktie knot (horizontally) or a more scout-inspired pioneer knot (vertically).
