Named for the brains of Isaac Asimov’s robots and Star Trek TNG’s Soong-type androids, Positronic is a squishy garter-stitch scarf with an easy shape and flashy graphics.

Knitter needs some familiarity with short-row knitting---there isn’t a tutorial of that in the pattern, but it’s an easy knit since the entire thing is worked in garter stitch. I’m reasonably certain I napped through huge sections of knitting.

Design calls for a specific hand-painted yarn as the main color but your favorite variegated will work just as well and there’s a suggestion on choosing contrasting colors to coordinate with the main color.

Scarf can also be done in three solid colors for a more intense graphic look. Try it in two primaries and a neon!
