Monochrome | Lapse
Playing with perspective, this double-layered scarf is knit in the round, the square motifs emerging from minute icons to prominent frames through the length of this piece. Use of negative space is further enhanced by the light and airy nature of this knit -- almost weightless in delicate cashmere-blend Pebble.
Construction Notes
Beginning with a Crochet Provisional cast-on, scarf is worked in the round as a long tube. When knitting is complete, both ends of the tube are grafted closed using the Kitchener stitch method.
Charted patterns are worked as stranded color work.
Trap floats of non-working yarn at no more than every 5th stitch or fairly evenly spaced over long stretches between color changes.
Hold 2 strands of Pebble together throughout.
