Gather four colors of DK or worsted weight yarn to knit this triangular skinny scarf. Begin at the tip with an I-cord cast on. Increases gradually shape the edge to the middle of the fabric and then decreasses taper the shape toward the other tip. Slip stitches with yarn in front on the right side reveal visible floats. This zig zag slip stitch motif forms the embossed jacquard effect and mimics a woven texture. I used lofty wool like De Rerum Natura Gilliatt and Wool Dreamers Mota in a beautiful gradient. The small yardage amounts required per color make this project a great stashbuster.
