Melic
Designed by Elin Bergsdottir
This is an illusion knit scarf. I like how this method can give a hidden meaning to things. To most people this scarf will be plane striped scarf, but for the recipient it has a meaningful symbol on it. Melic means “"to be sung" but this scarf can both keep the singers instrument warm and has the bass clef on it as a special hidden meaning.
