| Rachel came up with this pattern after looking at the gorgeous Huron for weeks - and wondering what she was going to do with it!
Purling 3 stitches together (and then purling them again!) as well as the twists are not difficult, but if you are a tight knitter, this pattern can get a little maddening. Take a deep breath, loosen up a little bit, and enjoy! Otherwise, this is a pretty easy scarf that looks more complicated than it actually is. |
