The “Kyosho” knitting design by Rastus Hsu impressively demonstrates how the basic techniques of knitting can create an extraordinary texture. Through the interplay of knit and purl stitches alone, a three-dimensional structural pattern emerges, reminiscent of the Japanese art of origami. The sculptural folds gently catch the light and lend this timeless scarf an architectural elegance that looks perfect on both women and men.
The rectangular stole is knitted seamlessly in one piece using ITO So Kosho, a luxurious yarn blend of 90% fine merino wool and 10% fine cashmere. The yarn gives the sculptural relief pattern an incomparably soft feel, a cozy volume, and a clear stitch definition. Whether in the more compact size M or as a generous wrap in size L, Kyosho is the ideal knitting project for anyone who appreciates minimalist design and high-quality natural yarns. The pattern includes a clear chart and is ideal for knitters with intermediate experience who want to create an elegant accessory with a special feel.
