This is a pattern for advanced beginners to learn how to knit on the diagonal. It produces a scarf with two slanted ends. Almost any yarn and needle combination will work. Use what you have or what you would like to make a swatch and be mindful that you will need some flexibility in the fabric to drape. This is highly customizable and can be made as long or short as you choose. Go nuts!

The required skills for this pattern are: casting on and binding off, knit stitch, increasing and decreasing, and working with yarn overs and dropped stitches.

I created this pattern back in 2008 and have been revising it since to make it understandable to a general audience. Please contact me with any errors or suggestions.
