Lengthwise Scarf Pattern

This Lengthwise Scarf is a design that appeals to both women and men! This unique look comes from knitting the scarf lengthwise while you add in colors for stripes. Go bright and bold with contrasting color combinations or try using tonal shades for a more subtle approach. Either way, this pattern is a wonderful design that is both simple and classic.
