Kikko Skinny Scarf

This simple lace scarf is inspired by the Japanese hexagon pattern, Kikko (亀甲 - Tortoiseshell). Turtles are the symbol of longevity and considered auspicious in Japan. The Kikko pattern can be seen in various forms in Japan. I hope knitting this design with good fortune in mind will bring serenity to your life.
