This scarf was inspired by the beaded wrist warmers from Greenland, where I saw a similar oak leaf pattern. When I was in Vilnius last year and the colors started to change for autumn, I couldn’t resist incorporating this design into a toasty scarf to keep me warm as I explored the city streets. In the center of the Old Town, a park with the remnants of an ancient pagan oak grove stands beside the church in Katedros aikštė (Cathedral Square) and the Royal Palace. Lithuania is also home to Stelmužės ąžuolas (the Stelmuze Oak), one of the oldest oak trees in Europe, is estimated to be alive for almost 2000 years.
