Meraki: (mA-’rak-E)
(n.) The soul, creativity, or love put into something; the essence of yourself that is put into your work

This is a collaboration between designer and dyer for the Where We Knit Yarn Club 2022. We hope you enjoy this project created from our love for fibers and mutual passion for travel.

Inspiration came from this beautiful photo captured in Paris by Gabby of Plies and Hellhounds. Light, shadows, intricate details, and blends of colors spoke to us.

The Meraki cowl is knit in the round and includes a combination of a twisted rib, stockinette, and beautifully simple lace pattern. The pattern is repetitive and may be easily memorized, making this a small and quick project perfect for your upcoming adventures.

We look forward to seeing where this project takes you, on your needles and in your travels!
