Flash Points Scarf

Dimensional points and stripes scarf.
Worked short-ways in a single direction.
Increasing from a few stitches at CO to main width, then decreasing back down at opposite end.

Intermediate Skills: k, p, slip, yo, cdd, m1L & m1R.
2 color Garter striping - Alternate colors every other row. Carry non-working color up right-hand side.

No blocking necessary.

Striped garter stitch with stacked increase/decrease columns placed in offset orientations, create deep dimensional points… The inclusion of a 1 stitch Stockinette column above the stacked decreases causes a curvature reminiscent of claws, teeth or beaks.

Scarf edges purposefully fold in upon themselves 10 sts (½ Repeat) plus border on each side.

Gauge

Gauge is not critical, but will affect size and yarn requirements.

This gauge provided for yarn & needle pairing, to get an appropriate fabric density without knitting the entire repeat.

Notes and Tips

Switch color each RS row,
and carry non-working color up right hand side.

A firm fabric with snug stitching
will maximize, and better retain, dimension.
