Abacus Scarf
This asymmetrical scarf is knit sideways from tip to tip and features eyelet stripes and purl stitch “bead” bands. It’s a small canvas but just perfect for playing with color—change color on each eyelet section or make your beaded bands scrappy. It’s knitter’s choice! And we love the way this off-center scarf wraps around your neck—place the deepest part where you want some warmth or color and then bring the short end around once and the long end around twice to meet and tie to secure. Gorgeous!
