This mesmerizing scarf uses simple but clever geometry to get to the point. Combine five contrasting colors of soft, squishy yarn with simple intarsia for a bold graphic look. Garter stitch worked on the bias makes for an ultra-plush scarf that’s a delight to knit.

NOTES

  • This scarf is worked from short end to short end. The chevrons are worked using the intarsia method. Join a new strand of yarn for each block of color and twist yarns at each color change to avoid holes.
  • Slip stitches purlwise with yarn in front unless indicated otherwise.
