This scarf is evidence that subtle and simple stitching can also be impactful and eye catching. Alternating rows of knits and purls are the perfect two-tone, reversible canvas for the hand dyed artistry of Marianated Yarns. The straightforward stitching really allows the yarn to do the talking! So pick a palette that speaks to you, be it a sophisticated gradient or a subtle duo, and create a timeless and enticing piece!

This pattern is perfect for beginners or those looking for a simple pattern, suitable for Knitflixing. The pattern calls for an i-cord foundation, selvage and bind off. However, an Appendix is included with instructions on how to make the scarf without this design detail.

An additional appendix is included with a photo tutorial on how to use a Magic Knot to segue from one color to the next, if you opt to make one with a gradient.
