This lovely scarf features the Thorn Pattern from Barbara Walker’s A Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns. Knit with fingering weight yarn in two color ways in a tube using a circular needle, the scarf is thick and warm without being heavy and has no wrong side. Garter stitch trim at the ends provides a neat finish. The model is knit with two color ways of Louisa Harding’s Amitola, which has long and gradual color changes; this scarf would also be beautiful knit with two solid colors or a solid and a tonal or variegated yarn. It looks best when the two yarns have high contrast.
