Bright sky scarf

There are days in the winter when the sky is almost painfully blue, when the wind snaps the flags (and your hair) briskly, and the reflection of the bright sun against the snow makes your eyes water. This scarf helps cut that wind in a stylish and simple way. The vertical pleating created by the stitch pattern means you end up with a double-thick fabric that carries interest during the knitting as well as visually from a distance and up close. Don’t like the pleats? Block the scarf to highlight the pennant pattern.

Gauge is not critical for this project.
