This scarf was inspired by the exceptional 3-D knitwear designer, Lynne Barr. The basis is simple single-color double knitting worked in alternating welts of knits and purls. At regular intervals the knitting gets “seamed” together and then shifted 90 degrees. The resulting fabric is both interesting to look at and fun to wear.
