The Skellig Islands are two steep, rocky islands about 8 miles off the coast of Ireland. The boat ride through the mist to Skellig Michael inspired this scarf pattern. When you get to the island, you climb hundreds of steps up to the remains of a sixth-century monastery.
This scarf captures the undulating sea, the mist on the water, and the winding path we climbed to get to the top of the rocky island.

About the Designer: Michele Pelletier
Inspired by nature and whimsy, Michele Pelletier is a vegan knitted accessories designer who loves bringing out the best in plant based yarns.
However, she can’t claim that all of her knitted projects are 100% plant based; cat hair somehow manages to sneak into most of them. It’s one of the joys of knitting in a home shared with kitties.
Michele can be found online as mickii66 on Ravelry and Instagram.
