The Ebba Scarf is worked from one tip to the other. The scarf is knitted in a simple lace pattern. The edges are knitted with slipped stitches that look like an i-cord. There’s a split at one end of the scarf so you can just slip the other end through the split instead of tying the ends.

The scarf comes in two lengths: a short version that reaches just once around your neck, or a slightly longer one that you can wrap around your neck. The length of the scarfs can easily be modified. Just keep adding more pattern repeats for a longer scarf.

The Ebba scarf matches my other Ebba patterns, including the Ebba pullover, Ebba vest, Ebba tee and Ebba skirt.
