This pattern was originally published as Close Knit’s contribution to the 2019 Rose City Yarn Crawl, March 7-10, 2019 in Portland, Oregon.

Two Plums Park is a pocket park in Northeast Portland. I was inspired by its winding path and by the lovely dark purple plum trees it’s named after. This scarf represents the meandering path, the peacefulness of this tiny neighborhood park, and my two favorite varieties of plum: Italian and Shiro.
