Brightlingsea is a tubular scarf knit in the round. It features stranded colourwork at each end. In order to preserve the shape of the motifs, each end of the scarf begins with a Provisional Cast On and is knit to the middle. In this pattern, the End of Round is placed at the centre back of the scarf. The two ends are neatly joined with an invisible graft worked in in the middle of the scarf. To finish the scarf, the Provisional Cast On from either end is neatly closed with a Three Needle Bind Off.
