The Lindal Turritella Scarf is part of my Lindal Collection focusing on short-row knitting techniques and highlighting the way color uniquely pools within the shapes of this design, which is well suited to self-striping and gradient yarn.

This pattern is also part of my Systema Naturae Collection and eBook. All of the designs from this collection are inspired by the beautiful organic shapes of seashells. Turritella comes from Latin turrittus meaning “turreted” or “towered” and the diminutive suffix ~ella. A genus of medium-sized sea snails with tightly coiled shells, whose overall shape is basically that of an elongated cone. (Children will find this design fun and whimsical knit in bright and sparkly colors like a unicorns horn!)

Diagrams: This pattern comes with instruction along with a detailed vector diagram for both color placement and knitting order.

Floats: The nature of this design requires a lot of slipping stitches to move the design from the smallest shape to the largest shape. Because of this, you could need to sew in a number of ends after the piece is complete. Options for working with these ends is included in the pattern.

While this pattern is recommended for experienced knittters, adventurous beginners will enjoy the fluid nature of the design and once wraps + turns have been mastered, it will become an enjoyable project and statement piece for your collection.
