Inspired by the angular lines and the play of light & shadow created by Modernist architecture, this small scarf is an easy, rhythmic introduction to intarsia.

Perfect for trying a new technique without committing to a larger project, it knits up quickly into an elegant, cosy accessory.

Along the way you’ll learn simple but effective techniques to get lovely rounded two-colour tips and crisp diagonal intarsia lines!

Working equally well in high-contrast, complementary or two-tone analogous colourways, The Modernist is perfect for exploring palettes and knitting up multiple versions as gifts or wardrobe accents.

One-size, but with indications of where you can customise length.
Uses 1 ball of each colour in Cardiff Cashmere Classic.
