An exciting Tunisian Crochet Fair Isle Scarf worked in eight colours, featuring classic Fair Isle Designs and patterns: diamonds, zig-zags and classic Nordic stars.

The Scarf is worked flat, and then sewn along the side and the bottom edges to create a double-sided design. The Tunisian Simple Stitch creates neat colour-changes for perfect stitch definition and a vibrant design.
