Triple Shift Scarf Pattern
This tri-colored, color block scarf uses four different design elements to create a fun and unique color mashup. The rich texture is achieved by using a combination of garter stitches, stockinette, and eyelet lace.
You will be using circular needles to knit a long tube that you will lay flat at the end and seam both openings closed. As a result, the scarf will be double-layered, and identical on both sides. A final blocking will give the scarf nice, crisp edges.
