CONSTRUCTION
This scarf is knitted flat beginning at the forked end of the scarf. 3 stitches for the left point are cast on and a simple 1 x 1 rib is worked while increasing at one edge. Similar steps are repeated for the right point, and once both points are of equal length, the points are joined together. From here, the scarf’s main body is worked in a chevron pattern with increases at the edges and a double decrease at the centre. Once the scarf nears its final length, increases are omitted to form the final, central, point. As a final touch, three tassels are attached, one to each point.
