The Plait Scarf is a simple and beautiful design. Three unique strands make up the braided portion, and the seamless design is connected with one or two buttons (both options are offered in the pattern instructions) and reinforced on the inside with sew-on snaps (optional). Option 1 is my original design, knit using naturally colored un-dyed wool and Option 2 is the same cowl knit using soft and cozy wool roving.
