The Bonbon Scarf is worked from one tip to the other. It is knitted in easy garter stitch with an increase on one side and a decrease on the other side, making the scarf appear as if knitted in bias. The edges are knitted with slipped stitches that look like an i-cord. The length of the scarf can easily be adjusted— simply add more rows for a longer or more stitches for a wider scarf.
