Fluttering Ginkgo / Fluttering Ginkgo MORE (Knitting Pattern PDF) in English and Japanese

Tokyo Yarn Crawl 2024 Official Collaboration Design

*** Professionally edited knitting pattern

Have you ever seen Ginkgo’s leaves? They are adorable and uniquely shaped, turning green to yellow in the fall. Ginkgo trees are common street trees in Japan.

I have designed a frilly scarf to represent the leaves fluttering down. Enjoy knitting the scarf in your favorite color, without limiting yourself to the original leaf colors.

* The “Fluttering Ginkgo MORE” pattern, which emphasizes the frills even more than the original design, is featured too!!

This is a scarf worked flat. The written instructions and the chart are included. You repeat the Lace and Ginkgo Leaf part as many times as you want until reaching your desired length, and finish with the Lace part.
