Scarf with geometric lines created with ribs and welts, plus an optional fringe.

Hard Right Scarf

$10 CAD

Ribs and welts collide to create striking angles at each end of this fun yet classic scarf. The angles may be hard but the knitting is easy, using only knit and purl stitches, plus strategically placed increases and decreases to maintain an even width. The scarf is fully reversible with an optional fringe.
