Paatiki is a cozy matching hat and cowl with an addictive color-work
motif that you’ll find hard to put down! The inspiration behind the
color-work motif comes from Maori tukutuku, woven panels that can
be found decorating the walls of the marae (meeting houses). The
central diamond motif is called Paatikitiki, or Paatiki for short. Paatiki is
Maori for the flounder fish, representing abundance. The diamonds
within the main diamond adds to the idea of plenty, signifying layers
of abundance. So when you wear the Paatiki, good fortune is sure to
follow (perhaps an abundance of yarn?). A perfect addition to any
stranded-knitting lover’s handmade wardrobe.
