The Evie Scarf is a dainty neck piece worked from tip to tip in a textured flower stitch. Increases and decreases shape the ends and edge stitches border the flower motif. The stitch creates a thick fabric for extra warmth, making this the ideal companion to its hand-warming counterpart, the Evie Mittens. Instructions are available in various sizes, from mini to maxi.

Sizes: mini (regular, maxi)

Size guide: Choose the mini size if you wish to place the scarf behind your neck and tie a knot at the front. The regular size will allow you to place the scarf in front of your neck, wrap around once, and then tie a knot at the front. Finally, the maxi size will allow for multiple wraps around your neck in a shawl style.

The sample is knitted in the regular size.
