Twisting here and there, in smooth curves – a path either somewhere you know, or somewhere entirely new. This scarf is tiny and sweet, something that allows you to get lost in the gentle rhythm of the stitches. And a great way to use those small DK-skeins in your stash. I used two colours, but you can go with just one or many more. The choice is yours!

The length can be adjusted by knitting more pattern repeats (in increments of two – one from RS and one from WS) before moving to the tip.
