Surprisingly easy! You knit a left side and a right side (not back and two fronts). There are 4 pieces in all: 2 sleeves and a left and a right side. You sew a back seam, across the back of neck and the sleeves.
The hardest part is casting on all the stitches and counting correctly on the first row to place markers…after that it’s as easy and fast as a garter stitch scarf!

I designed it to be worn open, but you can add a shawl pin to close the front, or add a big button with loop.

Very striking in the SAMI yarn, which is a self striping worsted weight, 100% wool.
