Scarf

The feminine trellis stitch on this scarf is created by working a slip-stitch technique against a knit/purl basketweave background. The pattern looks just as tidy on the wrong side, creating two styles in one. Floaty fringe offers a delicate finishing touch.

Designer: Sandi Prosser

Tip: To create an infinity scarf design variation, omit the fringe and seam the ends together.

Our cover scarf looks like a complicated stripe, intarsia, or woven design but is the result of short-rows repeating across the length of the piece, creating undulating waves of color. Garter stitch and a long-color-repeat yarn marry beautifully.
