Kizuna

Kizuna is a crochet scarf with a ribbing textured stitch pattern, it is compact, double-sided and universal. The name “Kizuna” is a Japanese word meaning special human ties and connections. I designed this scarf in the meantime of a long-distance relationship. As a Taiwanese who is deeply influenced by neighboring Japanese culture, I was constantly thinking of the word "kizuna" since it best describes the situation. > ...kizuna born among people ... which > fosters feelings of solidarity and > serves as the underlying strength to > overcome hardships. *([About kizuna][1], The Government of Japan)* Watch the short video presentation on my [YouTube channel][2] or [Instagram][3].
