Arete II is a small spring scarf. It’s shaped as a long, shallow triangle with tapered ends. The combination of lightweight yarn, flexible ribbing, and the skinny shape makes it easy to wear in changeable weather.It’s also pretty economic to knit, as you can make the largest size in less than one skein of Malabrigo Yarn Mechita.

Choose from three size options to knit this design as a kerchief, mid-, or full-sized scarf.
