Kizuna

Kizuna is a crochet scarf with a ribbing textured stitch pattern, it is compact, double-sided and universal.

The name “Kizuna” is a Japanese word meaning special human ties and connections.

I designed this scarf in the meantime of a long-distance relationship. As a Taiwanese who is deeply influenced by neighboring Japanese culture, I was constantly thinking of the word “kizuna” since it best describes the situation.

…kizuna born among people … which fosters feelings of solidarity and serves as the underlying strength to overcome hardships. *(About Kizuna, The Government of Japan)*Watch the short video presentation on my YouTube channel or Instagram.

Length can be easily adjusted which is described in the written instruction. Yardage would vary if the length is modified. The pattern is also tested using heavier yarns with great results.

Special note for yarn color: Using tonal or solid colors yields great results. Self stripping yarns are not recommended.
