This garter stitch scarf is knit on the diagonal (sometimes called “knitting on the bias”) employing a Fibonacci Sequence of garter ridges.

Nature loves what mathematicians refer to as the Fibonacci Sequence. It’s a kissing cousin of the Golden Ratio. Pine cones, pineapples, artichokes, sunflower seeds, the branches of trees and the leaves on the stems, even the the way a fern unfurls is described by this sequence of numbers. Because it is a principle of arrangement used in nature, it appeals to the human eye. This scarf uses the sequence by arranging garter ridge sections based on the Fibonacci series of numbers--1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34 … , a sequence in which each number is the sum of the previous two.

Feel free to pick any three yarns in three colors and textures that you like for the summer. We like tone on tone but thee colors of the same yarn could be pretty as well.
