The Maddy Scarf is a minimalist, elegant scarf with a modern shape. It is worked flat from one tip to the other, creating a long, symmetrical triangle.

The scarf can be worked either in a single color or with stripes and can be easily customized in size. Once the desired length is reached, the decreases are worked.

An i-cord edge and slipped stitch edge give the scarf a clean finish and help it sit beautifully on the shoulders.

It is recommended to knit and block a swatch before starting.
