ABOUT
This scarf was inspired by the 2024 NY Sheep & Wool Festival (AKA Rhinebeck) logo designed by Leanne Coppola. The logo includes a sheep wearing a scarf with vertical stripes of color. I thought a fisherman rib scarf with contrasting stripes would be a fun way to create your own colors of Rhinebeck. This pattern can be a great stash buster or excuse to shop at your LYS or wool festival.

The scarf is knitted flat on circular or straight needles using one color. Upon the completion of knitting the scarf you have a finished scarf. You can take it one step further and add contrast colors. The contrast colors are added by using a blunt tapestry needle and weaving the colors vertically into the scarf. The number of colors you use is entirely up to you. I have indicated in the pattern how many color stripes you will have based on the size you are making. It is entirely up to you if you want to add color to all the vertical stripes or just a few. The color combinations are endless!

This pattern is written for “Super Bulky Yarn”, but over time I hope to also include versions for other weights of yarn.
