A scarf in broken rib with fine accented double increases that branch out along the edge. A beautiful seed stitch pattern forms on the back, so the scarf can be worn with two different sides facing out.

The Twig Scarf can be made in exactly the yarn and size you want, as you are guided during the pattern on how to adjust the measurements. You can therefore choose to knit in one of the material suggestions, or simply use them as inspiration and to estimate yarn consumption in your yarn.

Please note that the specified yarn quantities are indicative and it is recommended to weigh your work along the way as described, to ensure you have enough yarn.

The scarf is knitted from tip to tip. First, stitches are cast on with longtail cast-on. Increases are worked to shape the tip, while broken rib is established. You can choose to knit according to the chart or description. When the tip is shaped and the scarf has the full width, continue in broken rib until the desired length. Finally, decreases are made towards the other tip.
