Choose one color of DK weight wool to knit this quick one skein skinny scarf. Begin at the tip with and I-cord Tab Cast On. Increases along the right edge gradually shape the fabric until you reach the middle of the scarf. Then, decrease to the other tip while working the fun droplet stitch pattern. This textured stitch is worked every six rows, producing gathered clusters of color, perfect for splashy variegated yarns and speckled colorways. I used Twisted Ambitions Wicked DK in their variegated Earth colorway and loved how the droplet stitch highlighted the streaks of color in the yarn. It’s mesmerizing to watch the colors unfold!
