Neighborly Scarf

I’m lucky. While I’m not great friends with any of my neighbors, I get along well with all of them, often stopping mid-walk or pausing my yardwork to chat. Having friendly neighbors who are willing to share their hens’ extra eggs or check in on my cats when I’m away makes me love my place in life that much more.

Similarly, the colors in the Neighborly Scarf need to get along well with their neighbors, as each interacts with the color on either side. Through stripes and a few carefully-placed slipped stitches, the colors work together to build a harmonious neighborhood. Knit a scarf for your favorite neighbor, or wear one on a local walk while enjoying your neighborhood–the eye-catching color play may encourage someone to strike up a conversation and help you make a new friend!
