Road Less Traveled Scarf
Introducing our beautifully crafted diagonal stripe scarf, a versatile accessory that blends casual charm with personal flair. This unique scarf can easily be customized in your favorite school colors, making it a perfect gift or a fantastic way to show your team spirit!
The scarf is expertly knit using the strip knitting (modular) technique, allowing you to seamlessly attach each worked strip to the main body of the scarf at the end of every right-side (RS) row. This method eliminates the need for any sewing, ensuring that the corresponding rows of each strip perfectly align for a polished finish.
Our pattern offers comprehensive directions for crafting both a wide 12" scarf or shawl and a narrower 8" scarf, giving you options to suit your style. For the narrow scarf, you will need 600 yards of worsted yarn: 300 yards for each color in a two-color design, and 200 yards for each color in a three-color scarf. The wide scarf requires 900 yards of worsted yarn: 450 yards per color for a two-color scarf, and 300 yards per color for a three-color option.
To get started on this lovely diagonal stripe scarf, you'll need the following equipment:
- US size 8 knitting needles for optimal gauge.
- A stitch holder to keep your strips organized while you work.
- A crochet hook for weaving in loose ends for a neat finish.
- One stitch marker to keep your place in the pattern.
