'Woven' Scarf


Woven’ Scarf
by Nicole Taylor
This pattern is more of a guideline than a strict step by step pattern. This version is in stocking stitch.

Needed - 2x colour A     2x colour B        2x Colour C

This scarf can use any yarn and any needle size that you deem appropriate to the 2 stranded yarn.

You can also choose any stitch – garter, stocking, etc.

You can be funky and have bright contrasting colours or elegant with more muted colour combinations.

When adding your new strand to the 2 strand mix, twist the old and new strands together, to keep the tension across colours.

The scarf is made up of 3 columns in 3 colours (yarn colour A1, B1, C1) and bands of 9 rows each.  Each band uses one colour, and the colours cycle through the same combination as the columns.  For example, the first band uses colour A2 which is the same as A1 used for the whole of column 1.
