Woven Checks Skinny Scarf
Choose one self-striping yarn like Schoppel Wolle Zauberball Crazy and one contrasting solid to knit this simple skinny scarf. The triangular shape is knitted sideways starting with an I-cord Tab Cast On. Knit to the center point with increases along one edge and then work decreases to slope the shape to the other tip. Only one color is worked at a time using a slip stitch technique to produce the alternating check pattern. This little shawl shape is quick to knit and accommodates single skeins and stash yarn beautifully. Just knit half of your yarn as you reach the center of the shawl and then knit the other half of your yarn for the decrease section. Go bold with a high contrast combo or embrace a soft and subtle shadow effect with lower contrast.
