This oversized wrap is just the ticket to keep out the chill on those crisp autumnal strolls. Painted Calathea uses Garter Stitch stripes along with the occasional slip stitch to create a fabric that looks wonderfully complex but is, in fact, a breeze to knit; creating the ideal canvas to play with all your favourite shades!

PATTERN NOTES
Calathea uses Garter Stitch stripes along with the occasional slip stitch to create a fabric that looks wonderfully complex but is, in fact, a breeze to knit. The slip stitch pattern zigzags across
the Reverse Garter fabric, whilst being invisible on the Garter Stitch side, making this scarf equally beautiful from all angles. Once the knitting is finished, you will finish your scarf with a playful fringed edge.

With one main colour and four contrast colours, Calathea is a wonderful opportunity to play with your favourite shades. I recommend choosing either a light or a dark shade for the MC, to make those slip stitches really pop. This scarf is knitted widthwise, so you’ll be able to choose from three different sizes as you knit, from skinny to a giant cosy wrap.
