This pattern was created in collaboration with Shobha from @serendipitouswool. Gemini Triangle Scarf yarns are available in her shop in Avenoir (As pictured) and other colorways.
I’m a Gemini and the scarf not only shows the complexity and simplicity of who I am, it also shows the contrast between Bahrain, the country in which I started the scarf and Belgium the one in which I finished it. The sharp edges of the textured side represent the ups and downs, sudden turns of my life and personality (if we’re being honest here). I could go on and on as to why the name is perfect for it but simply put the simplicity of the Tunisian simple stitch next to the intricacy of the honeycomb stitch are me, my life choices and experiences put together with yarn and a crochet hook.
