Sisar(= Sister in Finnish) scarf is a real one skein wonder.
It’s knitted with double yarn from the tip of the triangle upwards, and thus it can be knitted as big as the yarn will last.
The texture introduces new kind of semi-lace stitches and it’s quick to knit because of the rather big needle size (5mm / 8 US)
