From the pattern description:
“This scarf features rows of elongated stitches that are made by wrapping the yarn around the needle multiple times. This allows light to shine through and really show off your yarn. Combine these airy rows with a self-striping yarn, and you’ll have yourself something quite eye-catching. This scarf is quick to knit and won’t deplete your yarn stash -- a boon to the knitter in need of a speedy project that won’t break the bank.”
