I wasn’t sure what I wanted to name this design until I had it blocked. That was when I realized that the snowflake colorwork on the ends reminded me of damask. Damask is an intricately woven and reversible fabric originally made in Damascus. Also, appropriately given the wool/silk blend of Empire, it was made of silk and wool. Hope you enjoy my little nod to fiber history.

Although there is only one size in the pattern it is easily lengthened by adding more rows to the center section. You may need additional yarn.

It needs 2 skeins of sock weight yarn (1 of each color).

The scarf is worked in the round as a tube on a 16” circular needle.
