DESCRIPTION OF THE DESIGN
The rectangular scarf is worked from one end to the other, in the round and flat. You begin by using the Provisional Cast-On technique. After the cast on, you will be working in Stockinette Stitch by alternating colour blocks and stripes. After working all the colour blocks and stripes, you will work i-cord fringes for each end of the scarf.
