“Fun With Flags” was originally inspired and written as my token to the 2018 Olympic Games in Pyeong Chang, but could be adapted for any of those events where we are inspired to unfurl our flags and show our colours!

It is a modern, modular, intarsia wrap or scarf in garter stitch using two to ten (or more!) colour or pattern “blocks”. With the provided blank charts, it is intended that the pattern can be easily personalized with one’s own colour and pattern combinations.

Perfect for using all those leftovers and partial skeins.

(Exact gauge isn’t really important.)
