CONSTRUCTION

This scarf starts with a provisional cast-on for I-cord. Stitches are picked up from I-cord and then scarf is knit flat tip to tip with steady increases and decreases and integrated I-cord edges, followed by I-cord bind-off. A tiny 3 stitch graft completes the scarf. Line by line grafting instructions are INCLUDED.

  • Cable stitches - 2/1 RC, 2/2 LC, 2/2 R/C
  • Knit and purl stitches
