Around the Blend seamlessly combines three triangles to create an eye-catching scarf with bending ombre bands. This reversible design begins with just a few stitches and is knitted almost entirely in carefree garter stitch.

With addictive color changes and a DK-weight gauge, Around the Blend knits up in no time. Plus, the pattern shows you how to shade” in most of the yarn ends so that you won’t have to weave them in later. Cozy up in your dramatic new scarf, and you’ll be ready for whatever’s around the bend!

Note: This pattern calls for a DK-weight main color plus a fingering-weight gradient set for the blend bands. Two strands of the gradient colors will be held together to achieve DK weight.
