Dubbel
Dubbel, by PDX-based designer Seth Richardson, takes inspiration from early spring trees, just about to wake up from winter. In this lightweight yet cozy scarf, cabled lines combine with wide ribbing to create a repeating pattern that evokes the bare branches of those trees, ready to start blooming. But if you shift your vision a little bit, you may see the negative space as the shapes of new leaves on those branches as the season starts to pick up the pace. This is a great accessory for those days when there’s still a bit of a chill in the spring air.
