I love rhubarb. I have a plant In my backyard that sprouts in the spring and tells me that things are warming up here in Minnesota.

I remember as a child, my mother would fill a small Dixie cup with sugar and cut us a long piece of rhubarb. We would dip the rhubarb in the sugar, lick the end and suck the sugar off but we’d eat just a tiny bit of rhubarb because it was so sour.

I love the colors represented in rhubarb plants and this is the inspiration for this lovely scarf. Many independent yarn dyers make rhubarb colorways, as well as rhubarb sets, but I think these 3 from Madeline Tosh are so lovely and the rhubarb colorway just shines! This pattern is written in three sections, is meditative to knit on the bias, and provides a beautiful accessory for any party, affair or gathering.

Rhubarb Morning
Behold the first morning shadows
An empire of littleness comes alive.
Like rhubarbs from the fair plump garden the bitter sweet symphony of the day starts. – Poonam Shukla - actress
