A variation of Thin Edge of the Wedge, this reversible, double garter stitch scarf joins two smaller wedges following the original increasing instructions for the first half of the scarf’s length, then decreasing for the second half. The result is a quick to knit, smaller, but thicker neck scarf with two wedges that meet in the middle.

Thin Edge of the Wedge now includes BOTH versions as part of the pattern.

Double garter fabric is achieved by alternating strands of two colors, knit every row, using the ‘double point sliding technique’. This technique is so called because on alternate rows, you slide stitches to the opposite end of your double pointed or circular needle. Double garter stitch makes its fabric light and puffy, and working it in two colors gives it rich color depth.

Scarf pictured was knit in Cacao and Scallop Shell pink using 1 ball each of two colors of Soft Embrace DK weight yarn, but may also be knit in Soft Embrace 4-Ply Fingering weight yarn.

Materials: 110m (120 yds) each of two colors of DK weight yarn
