TWO Sundays from 2-4pm on the following dates: April 20th & 27th
Turn your adventurous beginner knitting skills into a bold and colorful Intarsia Tiles Scarf! This garter-stitch stole uses four shades of DK weight yarn and simple intarsia "twists" to create crisp, geometric designs.
As many of the shapes are quite simple with straight lines, beginners have time to work up to more rounded shapes to help build their intarsia muscles. Finally, knitters have the option to add an integrated hood to their scarf should they choose!
What you need to know: how to knit, purl
What you'll learn: Intarsia twists, provisional cast on, knitting I-cord, grafting I-cord
Required Materials:
This pattern is a great stash-buster that combines four shapes of a DK-weight yarn to create a garter-stitch intarsia fabric, with I-cord knitted as you go. We hope you'll consider supporting us by purchasing your materials at Knit 1!
Yarn: One strand of a DK weight yarn in at least four shades.
The shapes are perfect for using up leftover yarns from your stash.
