Fronde is Italian for leaves and in this pretty scarf the leaves grow from stems that go across the garter stitch background. By increasing and decreasing at both ends of the right side rows, a bias effect is achieved and when combined with a slow colour changing yarn, a beautiful scarf is created.

The double slipped stitch edge gives a beautiful finish and the yarn over increases create a beautiful lace border on one side, mirroring the effect created by the other edge as the decreases frame the leaf motif.
