PATTERN NOTES
This Scarf is worked on the bias in one piece. A decrease is worked at the beginning of each right side row, while an increase balances it out at the end of each right side row. Most color changes are achieved through the intarsia method. When changing colors mid row, bring the new color up and around the old color, putting a single twist in the strands, and preventing any holes from forming in the work.

Cut both contrast colors after each stripe instance. Leave main color attached, except when new contrast color stripes are introduced at the beginning of rows. In these instances, cut main color and reintroduce when called for later in that row.

When counting rows, remember that each garter stitch “ridge” counts as two rows, and each slipped stitch along edges also counts as two rows.
