Snowbird Scarf

PATTERN NOTES The Snowbird Scarf features two different sizes, a mini scarf and a larger, wrap style scarf. Both scarves are worked flat, from point to point. Simple 3-stitch cables hug long, narrow bands of slipped knit stitches. The right edge of the scarf is increased every 4 rows on the first half of the scarf length and decreased every 4 rows on the second half. The left edge remains straight along the full length of the scarf. DK weight yarn creates a lightweight fabric with effortless drape. An i-cord edge adds a polished finish to both sides of the scarf. This pattern is charted and includes separate written instructions. All repeats appear in bold italicized text. YARN Mini scarf is shown in [Knit Picks Capra DK][3] in Angelite Heather.
