Pattern Description from Vogue Knitting, Spring/Summer 2009: “My Tuscan Sun scarf, adapted from the shawl design on the cover of my new book Knitting in Tuscany (Nicky Epstein Books/Sixth&Spring Books, June 2009), is a simple knit that makes a huge impact. Metallic colors are an important trend this year, so I chose a shimmery, summer gold, but I can imagine the scarf in a host of alternate colors alone or in combination (black and strong, vibrant hues will be hot this fall). The length is easily adjusted by adding or subtracting the number of spirals. This particular scarf consists of six spirals, which have been overlapped and sewn together. I’ve dotted the individual pieces with three bobbles made separately to give the scarf added dimension; secure the bobbles by tying them to the center.”

“Six separately knit medallions are sewn together to make the scarf.”
