This is a ribbed entrelac scarf. The ribbing pulls the individual entrelac tiles into interesting bow-tie shapes. And the ribbing means that the scarf is thick and plush, with a satisfying texture. It frames your face in a swirl of energy and color.

Because of its modular construction, it can easily be knit wider or longer.

I tried this with several different yarns (including Noro) and found that it truly needs a yarn with longer runs of color than Noro has, and it works best with gradual transitions between the colors.

There are 6 different tile types to master, so if you’re looking for a challenge, this will keep you going. I learned to knit backwards, thinking it would save me from constantly having to switch back and forth with each new row, but I’m not sure it actually saved me much time. It is written out as if you are changing right-side to wrong-side for each row.
