This classic ribbon scarf design is knit from tip to tip using the double knitting technique. The pattern is intended as a fairly simple introduction to the Double Knitting. Instructions include video tutorials to guide you through the pattern’s different sections.
The result is a lovely vintage-inspired scarf, which is as fun to knit as easy to wear.
