The very basic scarf

The very basic scarf is a very easy scarf which was designed to be your companion over those chilly autumn or spring days. You can knit it as long or as short as you like to use it as a bandana or even a winter scarf. I have added an intarsia version to the pattern in case you would like to combine two colors.

This scarf is knitted top down, back and forth, ending with the
triangle point. A left twist stitch detail decorates the center of the scarf and a mini I-Cord is worked all around it in the end.

Length can be adapted to your wish. You could add also press buttons and create a bib out of it.
