Village/Cityscape scarves
Designed by Kaffe Fassett
FIELD GUIDE NO. 16: PAINTERLY
Specs & Details
We love these two scarves as a playful nod to the picture knits we will always adore. Kaffe’s motifs for this Field Guide are geometric and therefore easy to work.
In Village, Kaffe plays with a house motif that he returns to over and over, in quilts, fabric designs, and knitwear. Cityscape is more abstract, but has the pulsating energy of a metropolitan map, of the skyscrapers that define space.
