網編み (Japanese) – knit(ted) net
Originally inspired by paper kirigami created for the Japanese summer holiday Tanabata, this fun geometric mesh scarf is modularly knit and shaped on the bias. Two different lengths are provided and the width is customizable on this funky retracted mesh scarf. Any fingering or sport weight yarn would work perfectly for it. Or pair two unusual and very different yarns together as used in the original.
