A Cheetah’s slender body is built for speed and with bulky yarn your very own Cheetah will be zipping along right there with you.

Being designed with the Mosaic technique makes this a very simple scarf to knit because you only work with one colour per row. Placing markers at each motif repeat will also keep you right on track.

The pattern comes in three different lengths to suit your preference.

While there is a chart with the pattern it is also written out completely row by row. You can choose to knit from the chart or skip it, whichever you are most comfortable with.

Cheetah will surprise you how simple and fun it can be to knit Mosaic motifs. I can promise you it may be your first but won’t be your last.

“I love the way the long edges curl under the scarf, creating a lovely round shape”. Cuillere
