Letronne is an origami style, 3D knitted scarf design. It can be knit in any yarn; although solids, tonals, and ombre yarns will show off the shadow effects of the dimensional knitting best without distracting from the design. Depending on the yarn used, as well as your personal gauge, you may need different sized needles. I recommend doing a test swatch to determine what works best for you.

Origami knitting utilizes a technique known as a “twisted stitch”. There are a number of video tutorials online for learning this style of knitting. I prefer the method in the link below. For this design, I have used both the traditional two-stitch twisted stitch as well as a modified triple-twisted version of the stitch to allow for greater range of angles used in the ridge lines. Additionally, there are lifted purl increases in this design. Recommendations for video tutorial below.

A little note about the yarn used. Spun Right Round’s yarn has an exceptional hand and a gorgeous but subtle tonal range that adds depth to the pattern without distracting from it. The 4-ply yarn holds up well to the structure of the pattern.
