This pattern is available for free.

This pattern is available in 2 sizes: 12.5” x 82” or 12.5” x 90”.

Kits are available for the Unicorn version.

This wrap is worked on the bias. By increasing a stitch at the start of the row and decreasing a stitch at the end of the row, the work will slant. The stitch count will remain the same throughout.

It’s constructed with three repeating sections: an eyelet mesh border at the start and end, two-color garter stripes, and diagonal eyelets. The shorter version has fewer garter rows in the first and final garter sections, otherwise both versions are the same.

If you’d like to change the length of the scarf, change the number of repeats in each Diagonal Eyelet section.

Designate four of the five colors from the Mini Skein Pack as M1, M2, M3, and M4.

Yarn needs breakdown:
minis: 86 yds each (4 colors at 86 yds, or 344 yds total)
full skeins: 300 yds each (2 colors at 300 yds, or 600 yds total)

UNICORN MODS:
Use Wonderland Yarns Unicorn as colors M1-M4. Change Diagonal Eyelet repeats (sections 1-3) to 17 more repeats (instead of 19) on longer version.
