Semo Collar

Semo Pass (Semo La) is a mountain pass in Central Tibet and at over 18,000 feet may be the highest vehicle-accessible pass in the world. This knitted design, however, is accessible to almost any knitter, no matter the skill level. Semo can be a scarf or a wrap, and can be worked in any weight and amount of yarn. Offset increases and decreases give an asymmetrical subtle zig-zag shape to simple, meditative stitching.

If you substitute yarns, use an appropriately sized needle that gives you a fabric you like. This simple design gives you many modification possibilities, for instance: Use garter stitch throughout Change to a different color for Part 2 Alternate colors every two rows for stripes Use larger needle size for more drape Change number of stitches worked between increases and decreases Continue Part 1 instructions for entire piece
