This scarf is my second project linked to the dutch landscapes.
It was inspired by the peculiar pattern of a dutch dike called De Hondsbossche Zeewering.
This dike is located in the region of North Holland and was built for the first time in the fifteenth century to protect both people and villages from the North Sea’s storms.
