Product Description
I love rhubarb. I have a plant In my backyard that sprouts in the spring and tells me that things are warming up here in Minnesota.
I remember as a child, my mother would fill a small Dixie cup with sugar and cut us a long piece of rhubarb. We would dip the rhubarb in the sugar, lick the end and suck the sugar off but we’d eat just a tiny bit of rhubarb because it was so sour.
I love the colors represented in rhubarb plants and this is the inspiration for this lovely scarf. Many independent yarn dyers make rhubarb colorways, as well as rhubarb sets, but I think these 3 from Madeline Tosh are so lovely and the rhubarb colorway just shines! This pattern is written in three sections, is meditative to knit on the bias, and provides a beautiful accessory for any party, affair or gathering.
Rhubarb Morning Behold the first morning shadows An empire of littleness comes alive. Like rhubarbs from the fair plump garden the bitter sweet symphony of the day starts.

Rhubarb Balls Scarf by Cori Eichelberger
What is Being Made
The Rhubarb Balls Scarf is a knitted accessory designed by Cori Eichelberger of Irocknits Designs. This scarf draws inspiration from the vibrant colors of rhubarb plants, particularly the striking hues found in rhubarb colorways created by independent yarn dyers such as Madeline Tosh. The finished piece serves as a beautiful accessory suitable for parties, affairs, and gatherings, offering both visual appeal and wearable functionality.
Techniques Used
This scarf pattern is written in three distinct sections and is knitted on the bias, creating a meditative knitting experience. The bias construction technique allows the fabric to drape beautifully and creates interesting directional stitch patterns. The structured three-section design provides clear progression through the pattern, making it accessible for knitters of various experience levels while maintaining visual interest throughout the project.
Stitches and Stitch Work
While specific stitch names are not detailed in the pattern excerpt provided, the scarf utilizes fundamental knitting stitches appropriate for fingering weight yarn. The bias knitting technique involves directional increases and decreases that create the characteristic diagonal flow of the fabric, resulting in a scarf with dynamic visual movement and elegant drape.
