Snowbird Scarf (Knit Pattern)

Note: This is a listing for the printable PDF file only, not for a printed copy or the finished garment.

Design

The Snowbird Scarf features two different sizes, a mini
scarf and a larger, wrap style scarf. Both scarves are worked
flat, from point to point. Simple 3-stitch cables hug long,
narrow bands of slipped knit stitches. The right edge of the
scarf is increased every 4 rows on the first half of the scarf
length and decreased every 4 rows on the second half. The
left edge remains straight along the full length of the scarf.
DK weight yarn creates a lightweight fabric with effortless
drape. An i-cord edge adds a polished finish to both sides of
the scarf. This pattern is charted and includes separate written
instructions. All repeats appear in bold italicized text.
