Riverbank Scarf
Long and luscious striped chevron scarf. This pattern uses five mini skeins and two mohair colors to create hues that flow from one to the next over the length of the scarf. Most of the work is relaxing garter stitch with just a few stitches needed for shaping. Oh…. and the light soft feel is like wearing a warm cloud!!
Mohair yarn is always held double throughout this pattern.
Stripes are made using fingering weight yarn alternating with mohair every two rows throughout the scarf. Each mini skein is knit in its entirety before changing to the next mini skein color. The illusion of more frequent color changes is achieved by alternating the two mohair colors in blocks. The color pattern is much more simple than it appears.
