The Ziggy scarf balances sophistication and practicality, creating an eye-catching statement piece that radiates warmth as well as elegance, and drapes gracefully. The thoughtful construction blends intricate, bold texture with geometry and fluidity. Perfect for gifting or elevating your wardrobe.

Ziggy is parallelogram-shaped, featuring elongated stitches which create a zig zag pattern against a background of squishy garter stitch, all neatly framed on both sides by an i-cord edge. The elongated stitches are first slipped, then carried to the left/right as simple 3x1 cables to create the zig zag pattern.

The scarf is worked starting at one tip. Increases are made to reach the full width of the scarf, then knitting continues evenly until decreases are worked to complete the shape.
