Inspired by shaded plants who are efficient energy users, not in competition with other plants for the sun and adapt to make more use of soil nutrients, this is a color block shawl with rolled selvage edges. 3 colors are joined together every row using basic intarsia techniques. 2 rows of crochet slip stitch edging are added to the cast on + bind off edges for a decorative finish and to stop the stockinette stitch from curling.

There is a mini video tutorial in the pattern showing you how to do the color block intarsia knitting and the crochet slip stitch edging.

This is a simple, wearable scarf you can dress up with a fancy coat or dress down for a casual day out.
