The Walking Distance scarf is an intarsia design that proves that stripes can be show stopping!

This lightweight scarf combines a bold design with simple execution to create a look that is deceptively easy to knit up. It’s easy enough for intarsia first timers but stunning enough to keep the interest of old pros as well. The small details and finishing touches help elevate the project with a clean, professional flair.

This pattern uses colorwork charts.
