This scarf was designed for Knit Stars Season 7 as part of the Story of a Swatch Class. The goal of the project was to create a textured scarf that looks good on both sides, lies flat, and uses less than 3 skeins of MollyGirl Yarn Rockstar DK. The resulting scarf combines a wide variety of textured stitches and openwork from the design portion of the class.

When you purchase the knitting pattern document, you get the written and charted instructions for the scarf as well as written and charted instructions for the component stitches. I’ve uploaded a picture of the front and back side of the scarf with each of the three swatch patterns called out. Some of these swatches have photo instructions of tricky stitches, others provide alternative stitches so you can customize the design.
