MinMax scarf is knitted sideways back and forth in one piece, from tip to tip in easy lace pattern with built-in I-cord edges. The pattern has instructions for both fingering and worsted / bulky weight yarns and has charts for both versions.

To maximise yarn usage and minimize leftovers weigh your yarn at the beginning and after increases. Keep at least this amount to be able to work the decrease section.

MinMax-huivi neulotaan tasona lisäten kummassakin reunassa kunnes haluttu leveys on saavutettu ja sen jälkeen kavennetaan kummassakin reunassa kärkeen asti.
