A knitted fabric is really just like a sheet of paper. If we can fold sheets of paper into amazing shapes then we can fold knitted fabric too. Garter stitch is such a strong, static fabric with no desire to turn or twist in any particular direction. Stocking stitch columns (vertical and diagonal) want to turn the fabric, and I used this natural inclination to create folds and I love how the light plays with them.

Size: Laid flat, length 168cm / 66in, width 26.5cm / 10.5in. This is a 3D scarf though, and it can fold so that it’s only 5cm wide and an inch deep!

You’ll need 5 x 50g skeins of a 4ply or sock weight yarn and a needle to get gauge, I have used 3.5mm.

The pattern includes written out instructions as well as a pattern chart.
