Poplar and Vine
Inspired by the leaves of the balsam poplar tree, this chunky scarf is knit in the round to create a squishy, cozy fabric that is double-sided. One side features twisted stitches forming a leaf and vine motif and the other side has simple textured stripes. Finished with tassels for a bit of fun. The pattern includes tips for customizing the length and making a narrower version of the design to suit your personal style. A versatile fall and winter accessory that you will love to wrap up in.
The PDF pattern includes:
- A materials list
- Charted and full, row-by-row written instructions
- Photo tutorials and video links
- A glossary of abbreviations and terminology
