“This scarf is FUNKtional.” It’s a shawl. It’s a cowl. All with a tug. It’s just plain fun and FUNKtional.

FUNKtional is knit side to side, beginning at the tail. The pattern alternates between rows of stockinette and reverse stockinette, followed by a large eyelet row. The final eyelet row is larger to accommodate the lacing of the tail. Add a tassel to the tail and you are all set.

You can hold 2 strands of worsted weight yarn together or use a chunky/bulky weight yarn on its own. This project is perfect for self striping yarn or create you own stripes with multiple colors.
