Slip-stitch color-work creates beautiful textures in this scarf. The pattern of this scarf gives it a unique patchwork look with a vibrant color palate. Shades are blended together by holding multiple strands together while knitting.
19 sts = 4 in. (10 cm) in Woven st pattern. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE.
