Fallingwater Scarf
This scarf was inspired by one of the most famous houses designed by one of the most famous architects—Fallingwater by Frank Lloyd Wright. Like the house built partially over a waterfall, this scarf replicates the clean vertical lines of the house’s cantilevered terraces, softened by fringe that represents the flowing water below. The architectural quality of the scarf is emphasized by a strongly angled stitch pattern that also looks like cantilevers and waterfalls.
The pattern is a simple combination of knits and purls, and every other row is worked as presented, knitting the knits and purling the purls.
