Spiral Scarf
This simple Fairisle scarf is an ideal introduction to Fairisle knitting, because it is knitted in the round (no purling!) and it is based on a 3-stitch repeat so you never have to ‘catch’ the yarn not in use.
I used 4 shades of Kidsilk Haze but any DK in 2 shades will also work. The Kidsilk Haze is held double and it is colourwashed.
It is also beaded and this is fully explained.
I rate this as easy to moderate.
