The Kassiopi Scarf captures the essence of a holiday in Corfu, the colours reflecting the profusion of flowers along the roadways and the turquoise of the Mediterranean.

The scarf is reversible and features a wonderfully textured design with a neat seed stitch edging for a refined finishing touch – perfect for both a casual holiday look or more formal wear.

The pattern includes details for a long, slim scarf worked in a cotton/modal yarn and two wider 100% cotton scarves to provide just the right degree of warmth for a cool summer’s evening.
