This sort of skinny scarf is relatively narrow for a boomerang shape and can be worn in lots of ways. It also looks clever and elegant, but is extremely easy to make.

Like all minimal knits | DESIGNED scarves MK#14 drapes beautifully and is quick to knit because it uses needles larger than is usual for the yarn. A very elongated boomerang shape with eyelet rows, it has the effect of being knitted on the bias.

The sample scarf was made from a 100g skein of Bombed Yarns 4ply 100% merino in the colour We are the Champions containing 350 metres – 383 yards. It measures 50 cm / 19½ inches by 168 cm / 66 inches by 204 cm / 80 inches after blocking.
