Braided Scarf

This scarf brings 3 simple concepts together into a more interesting, but easy to knit, scarf. Stripes provide color contrast; shaping bends the stripes into chevron patterns; and the final addition of short rows changes the thickness of each stripe. As the stripes become thick and thin, the proportion of colors changes,creating a braided look.

All Knit – in this option, long loops are formed from carrying Color B up the side of the work or Color B breaks after each stripe and ends are woven in as you go. There is no purling in this version, but it is not as neat looking. Sample is worked using knit/purl instructions.
