Gingham Scarf |

|

| Skill Level: Easy |
|
Like a strip of gingham seersucker cloth, this scarf is simple and fresh. The checkered pattern alternates cloverleaf eyelets and reverse stocking stitch squares. The stitch pattern is equally attractive on the reverse. You can work it as shown as a light and skinny warm-weather scarf, or use a heavier yarn for a thicker, wider scarf.
finished measurements
About 6 x 68 inches (blocked).
