Windswept Waltz
Inspired by the windy landscape of my home in the Texas Panhandle, Windswept Waltz is a wide, bias-knit scarf worked flat in two alternating colors.
A celebration of simple knit and purl stitches, the Windswept Waltz is an exercise in sequence knitting. The same 3 x 3 rib pattern is worked throughout but takes on a twist at the beginning of each row set. The resulting texture is inspired by a field of prairie grass being blown by the gale-force winds of springtime on the high plains.
