Schluppen Scarf

The Schluppen Scarf is a simple little garter-stitch scarf with a delicate I-cord edge. It consists of two narrow, pointed ends and a slightly wider neck section.

What makes the Schluppen Scarf special is its knitted scarf ring, which allows you to tie the scarf into a beautiful bow without creating a bulky knot. Of course, you can also simply wrap the scarf around your neck — or, thanks to its generous length, wear it as a headband.

The scarf is knitted flat in garter stitch, with the I-cord edge worked as you go. The length is easily adjustable, allowing you to adapt the scarf to your preferred fit.

The Schluppen Scarf also makes a lovely gift — and can even be used as a beautiful knitted gift wrap.
