A classic mosaic scarf with a fresh look! Juniper Moon Farm Findley DK, with its tight twist and lovely blend of silk and wool, provides the perfect stitch definition and drape. Scarf is cast on lengthwise, and after knitting the charted mosaic pattern and garter stitch eyelets, the long edge is trimmed with a knit on Birds Eye edging. Recommended for intermediate knitters, but an adventurous advanced beginner will find this pattern a great introduction to mosaic, eyelet lace, and knit on edging.

Scarf is cast on lengthwise, but don’t let the large number of cast on stitches scare you! Stitch markers are placed to help you count stitches and help keep track of repeats for the mosaic section.
