Electric Diagonal Stripes Scarf
Designed by: Dana E. Freed
I love neon colors, especially when they are set off by a darker muted color. This scarf is both fun and easy to make, and a great way for newer knitters to practice increasing and decreasing. The simple crocheted edge adds that extra “pop" that makes this piece really fun!
