Graphic Two-Tone Wrap & Scarf

10/19/19: Errata Avaliable

This simple color-blocked piece is knitted end to end using the very simplest form of the intarsia method. You’ll learn to manage both colors in each row, crossing strands at the color change—great practice for a more ambitious intarsia project! Roomy, off-center pockets on the wrap version are a little practical (keys, lip balm, cold hands…) and a little posh.
