The Design

“Compulsively knitable.”

Have fun playing with color—glowing, silky soft Kidsilk Haze color! Watching what comes next is so much fun. For the scarf project, we mixed eight solid colors—two at a time—to create shaded color blocking. Try mixing tonal colors for ombré shading, or cross the color wheel for graphic punch! It may be impossible to stop at just one scarf project.

Grab the pattern above and then choose your four-color combination. We've provided some of our favorite colorways, but there is no reason why you can't just travel on over to the Rowan Kidsilk Haze page to choose colors of your own. Catch you on the color side!

KNITTER'S NOTES
You'll be working with a double strand of yarn throughout. And remember, each scarf will be unique—simply splice in your new color anywhere in the row and notice that each one of your blocks will vary in length. It really is fun to see what blooms from your needles!
