Kohin, by dsigner Aleks Byrd, is inspired by the rhythmic movement of water: the name translates from Estonian to the rushing sound of a stream or waterfall. This triangular scarf is a stunning exploration of texture and innovative construction: it takes shape by first knitting a DK-weight body from tip to tip, incorporating specific purl ridges that serve as anchors for the lace panel. A lace-weight panel is then worked flat and joined to these ridges on every right-side row, finishing with a grafted edge at the opposite tip.
Whether you choose high-contrast colours to highlight the geometry or tonal shades for a subtle, shimmering effect, this pattern invites you to play with transparency and depth.
The kit includes the following colourways in the required quantities on British DK and Mohair Silk from Les Garçons. The pattern is not included; it is available on Ravelry.
Main colour (1 skein, 100 g, British DK): “Twyla’s Sand”
Contrasting colour (1 skein, 50 g, Mohair Silk): “Édith’s Butler”
