Yokan is Japanese for spring, meaning ‘still cold’.

The scarf is worked in the Endless Branch 2-colour slip stitch pattern, combining a gradient yarn and a contrasting single colour yarn.

Yokan scarf is a long, cozy scarf that can be wrapped twice around the neck.The picot cast-on and bind-off make attractive fringed borders at the beginning and end.

The scarf is worked in one piece, using 2 balls of a gradient sport weight yarn.The first ball makes the first half of the scarf and the second ball has the gradient colours reversed.
