A rectangular scarf with eyelet border, fringe and a vibrant gradient colour change using two colours. Use one speckled/ splashed yarn with a solid yarn or two similar colours for a smooth gradient. Try high contrast colours for a more dramatic look. Use a variegated yarn with a complimentary solid for a colour change that looks more like an impressionist painting. You have a choice of four lengths.

This cuddly scarf can be completed relatively quickly following either the colour chart or written instructions. Working in the round means no edge stitches, few or no ends to sew in and no dragging a long scarf end around in a project bag as you near the end of the project. Once you’ve mastered the pattern layout, it’s an ideal knit project for when you are catching up with friends, TV, travel or listening to podcasts. What might also come in handy: the moss stitch is a great way to teach yourself Continental knitting.
