In this scarf, interesting vertical lines alternate with areas of almost three-dimensional structures. The random shifting of colours creates exciting effects in the simplest ways.

CONSTRUCTION
The stitch pattern for this generously sized scarf creates a fabric that is the same on both sides — only the colours are reversed. A few stitches worked in Moss stitch frame the main part on both sides and give it stability. A neat i-cord edging completes the piece.

The scarf begins with a Provisional Cast-On. The easy-to-remember double tuck stitch pattern, in which the colours alternate every other row, is worked all over the body of the scarf. To keep knitting exciting, shift the colours at irregular intervals. When the required total length has been reached, the stitches are bound off with an i-cord bind-off. The bind-off is done along the long side with the selvedge stitches as a base until you reach the provisional cast-on and then back up along the other long side.
