Modern Crochet Designs for All!
Formerly The Gemini Triangle Scarf
We’ve made some exciting updates to this page and pattern. As of March 27, 2024, the name has been changed to Jemo, which means Gemini in Haitian-Creole. We’ve also updated the sample, using yarn from @serendipitiouswool, just like the original. This time, we’re using two colors to highlight the contrast in stitches and emphasize the dual nature of the name and its meaning.

I’m a Gemini, and this scarf isn’t just a piece of clothing—it’s a reflection of the intricate yet simple nature of who I am. It’s a visual representation of the stark contrast between two places close to my heart: Bahrain, where I began crafting this scarf, and Belgium, where I completed it. It is interesting that I was in Qatar when I decided to update this pattern and took some of the final photos for it in Germany. It seems to always be something that strides both these continents.
