SCARF, Knitted
The simple fancy pattern in which this scarf is worked is very effective and quite easy to do. It provides a change from the plain knitted type.
Editor’s Note: This vintage knitted scarf pattern is excerpted from Woolcraft: A Practical Guide to Knitting and Crochet, first published in 1915.
