One of the most compelling aspects of knitting is how many ways there are to construct a piece. An item of clothing can be worked top down, bottom up, sideways, in the round, or flat. These choices can be purely functional or serve as striking design features.

Scatter Scarf explores two directions of knitting within a single project, creating visually interesting lines and a slightly scattered, dynamic look. The long, tapered bias section wraps comfortably around the neck, helping the shawl stay in place, while its generous depth makes it easy to style like a bandana.

This shawl is worked in simple knit and purl stitches, making it an approachable project for beginners and a thoughtful option for gift knitting.
