PATTERN SPECIFICATIONS
SIZING & EASE & CONSTRUCTION NOTES
One size. The finished fabric is full and lofty.
Approx. finished size, after blocking: 28cm/11” wide and 200cm/78” long.
LAIDBACK is knitted flat, from start to finish, in one piece. The scarf has a 3x3 rib section at the beginning and end, and the main body is worked in Garter stitch. Slipped and dipped stitches are worked on one side only, but in such a way that the reverse side of the scarf still looks simple and clean. I-Cord edges keep everything neat and round.
