This & That Scarf
Joan Kass, event co-ordinator for the Downtown Knit Collective guild in
Toronto, ON, Canada, has organized a Knit for the Cure scarf challenge.
She has been encouraging DKC members to knit scarves and she asked me to
contribute a scarf design. The "This & That" scarf has a little texture,
a little lace, and is a LOT of fun to knit. You can read about Joan's
project at www.dkcknitsforacure.blogspot.com. Knit a scarf, knit for the
cure.
An elegant, simple to knit, lovely to wear, scarf that features a bit of “this & that” – a little lace, a little stockinette, and just enough texture to keep it lying flat. This scarf lends itself to plain, luxury yarns that will showcase the stitch pattern. Level: Intermediate.
