The Ginger Scarf is the ‘little sis’ of the Ginger Shawl. A perfect little accessory for Spring, Summer and Fall. It’s a fun, quick knit and a perfect stash busting project.

The Ginger Scarf is an elegant triangular little scarf. It comes in 3 different sizes: S, M and L. It’s knitted back and forth, starting at the tip of the scarf. You work increases in every 4rd row, until you reach the widest point at the center. You then work decreases in every 4rd row until you reach the other tip.

A full chart is included in the pattern per size, facilitating an effortless tracking of your progress throughout the knitting process. Note that you need to know how to read a chart for this pattern.

Good to know:
The Ginger Scarf is a perfect match with the Ginger Hat & Ginger Mittens
