Zippy Scarf has elegantly tapered ends and is worked sideways with decreases forming a central spine. With its chevron shaping and stripes, Zippy is an invitation to play with colour and texture. Designed to use two colours, the stash busting options are endless; make it scraptastic and use up all those delicious end balls or use colour-changing yarn for a lovely result. Mix up the texture and use a kidsilk or “fluff” yarn in place of one colour. Zippy Scarf is knit tip-to-tip with shaping to create interest to this garter stitch project. You’ll find the resulting scarf easy to wear and style. It’s sure to become a wardrobe favourite and is a perfect gift knit project.
