This enchanting parallelogram scarf begins and ends with a single, elegant point. As you knit, progressive increases gradually build the fabric to its full width, creating a soothing, serene and rhythmic flow that feels almost meditative. The centre section allows you to settle into the stitch pattern, before graceful decreases guide the scarf back to a mirrored point in the opposite corner — forming a sleek, asymmetrical shape that drapes beautifully.

The silky bamboo yarn used lends exquisite stitch definition, allowing every ridge, twist, and lace motif to shine with crisp clarity. While bamboo can be a touch finicky if you’re not mindful, the reward is a fabric that feels luxurious in the hands and looks absolutely breathtaking on the needles and off.

Have a set amount of yarn you want to use up?
The pattern includes instructions on how to do just that.

Or, would you prefer to change the dimensions?
Customize the length, adjust the width, or use the exact amount of yarn you have on hand — this design invites you to make it truly your own. Whether you’re knitting for cozy winter warmth or elegant everyday wear, this scarf offers a perfect blend of beauty, rhythm, and creative freedom.

CONSTRUCTION
Tailor-Made Twist begins with a 3-stitch cast on and after the initial increases, 1 stitch is increased every RS row while pattern repeats are added until the full width is reached. The scarf is framed on either side by the twisted lace panels and can be adjusted in width by working additional repeats until you get the desired result and then decreased in the same manner.
