Pattern Description

The Wrapped Up in You Scarf is fun with it’s alternating stripes and playful border. Knit this scarf up in combinations of reds and whites, pinks and creams, or purple and off-white for a Valentine themed accessory. Since it is knitted in the round, the scarf has a double layer of thickness, making it extra warm and cozy. Directions are given for two sizes: child and adult. Tips on how to easily adjust the height and length of the scarf are also included, along with tips for using variegated yarn and creating different looks. Written out instructions, as well as a simple chart on the last page are both include for the simple fair isle border.
