Woven Checks Skinny Scarf Pattern

Choose one self-striping yarn like Schoppel Wolle Zauberball Crazy and one contrasting solid to knit this simple skinny scarf. The triangular shape is knitted sideways, starting with an I-cord Tab Cast On. Knit to the centre point with increases along one edge and then work decreases to slope the shape to the other tip. Only one colour is worked at a time using a slip stitch technique to produce the alternating check pattern.

This little shawl shape is quick to knit and accommodates single skeins and stash yarn beautifully. Just knit half of your yarn as you reach the centre of the shawl and then knit the other half of your yarn for the decrease section. Go bold with a high-contrast combo or embrace a soft and subtle shadow effect with lower contrast.

Due to the nature of hand-dyed yarn and yarn dyed in batches, there may be some variation in colour between skeins. We take great care in photographing our yarns accurately, but some colours may vary slightly from the picture.
