Easy Breezy Scarf
This Scarf is made with a mesh stitch that magically transforms your straight knitting to give it the effect of being knit on the bias, forming a diagonal appearance deceptively more complicated-looking than it actually is - especially when striped. Both back and front of the scarf have interesting effects making it reversible. Seed stitch borders offer stability to prevent curling. The scarf is quick and easy to knit, using simple stitches - a great traveling project. The open mesh design is perfect for wearing in Spring and Autumn when you still need the warmth of a scarf but still like to feel a bit of the breeze on your skin.
