Inspired by a humorous scene in Thomas Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow involving a terrible candy called Marmalade Surprise, this asymmetric triangular scarf is a vivid display of colors in play with each other. The eccentric shaping is generated by overlapping German Short Rows. Coordinate your colors, let them clash, bright, dark… do what you will! This is a knit welcoming of postmodern play!

• The pictured yarn is Cascade Yarns Cherub DK (55% Nylon / 45% Acrylic; 180 yds / 165 m per 50g skein), which is listed as a DK but is rather lightweight. This pattern can be completed in anything between heavy fingering to DK. If using lighter yarn, you might consider dropping in needle size.
