Description
This pretty scarf is as easy as knitting and purling—but gives an interesting texture with no curling! The two sides look different, but both are nice enough to be the “front” of the scarf. You can knit it either on the long side or the short side. Directions are given for either way--and for all weights of yarn!

Try it in a self-striping yarn for added enjoyment.

Skills taught in this pattern:

• Half-linen stitch.
• Slip-stitched edge.

Really Clear Skill Rating:
