Pattern description from Crazy Aunt Purl’s Drunk, Divorced, and Covered in Cat Hair: “Every beginner starts off with a plain old garter stitch scarf, casting on and knitting every stitch of every row. I think simple garter stitch scarves can be so beautiful! With a gorgeous yarn, the lowly garter stitch is elevated to something classic and graceful.”

Ingredients:

  • Yarn: 1 skein Noro Transitions. A very expensive and beautiful yarn, it not only changes colors, magically creating a self-striping scarf, this yarn also changes fiber. From silk to cashmere to camel to who knows what.
  • Needles: Size 11 needles.
