Rhubarb is the perfect project for gifts, using remnants, color experiment, and quick gratification. This unisex neck-warmer is created using two fingering weight single-ply yarns held together to create depth of color and soft texture. Rhubarb is knit inside out to minimize purling and create a satisfying and fast knitting experience. The two colors separate out for small rib accents against the blended reverse stockinette background.
