A fun little zig-zag detail at the edges gives this basic garter stitch scarf a fresh finish. The shallow triangle is worked ‘both ends against the middle’—two identical pieces are knit separately and then grafted together at the center for perfectly mirrored halves. It can be knit to any size using a lace-weight or light fingering-weight yarn, so make a lavish wrap or tiny kerchief. Perfect all year ‘round!

Knit in a cool plant fiber this versatile scarf will carry you throughout most of the year. And in a true knitter’s yarn like Isager’s Spinni, your project will have gorgeous structure that will soften and settle after blocking.
