Skógur

I am so happy to introduce you to Skógur. Please don't ask me how to pronounce it. I've googled it, and my brain doesn't even know what to do to reproduce the sounds. But what I know for sure is that it means Forest in Faroese.

The design itself is very easy. You start off with a LOT of garter stitch. That’s just to get familiar with the yarn, and enjoy your favourite show. And also it’s very squishy around the neck. Then the texture is slowly introduced in the next section. It might look intricate, but it’s very simple, intuitive and meditative. There’s also a video to show you how to execute the stitch. So nothing fancy here, just some texture goodness.

The shawl itself is quite long (it’s almost as long as my Hollows if you’ve ever knit that one), which makes it perfect to wrap around the neck, and drape nicely on the sides. I have started wearing it already as the weather has started cooling down quite drastically these past few weeks, and I absolutely adore it.
