Notes From the Designer:

A simple, yet gorgeous tube scarf inspired by a trip I took to London. Before getting on the Tube, the announcer would say, “mind the gap between the train and the platform.” I loved it! I designed and tested this pattern while riding to see the Dover Castle and while on the plane trip back home. With this scarf pattern, you work around and around, which forms a tube, so no purling is required. You’ll have this whipped out in no time!

  • The sample shown used approximately 970 yards (887 m) total.
  • The original version used approximately 790 yards (722 m) of Luster Sport in the color Belgian Chocolate Shavings.

  • Ideal for beginners who want to make something gorgeous!
  • The size is adjustable. Want a fatter tube? Cast on more stitches. Want it shorter or longer? Just stop knitting when desired.
  • Wonderful for both variegated yarn, as well as solids or tonals.
  • You don’t have to worry about running out of yarn. Just stop knitting when you want to.
