Patina

A small triangular scarf with a reversible wavy rib texture and an optional pull-through detail. Knit with a strand of fine merino held together with variegated mohair for a soft
watercolor effect that plays against the crisp geometry of the rib patterns.

The scarf is worked holding a strand of fingering weight merino and a variegated silk mohair together, from point to point, increasing and decreasing along the right-hand side.

A simple rib stitch is offset to create the wavy texture on the RS and a woven basketweave-like texture on WS. This makes the scarf fully reversible, with neat edges created by selvedge stitches.

Two slit openings create a pull-through detail, for a decorative fastening option - the stitches are divided into 3 sections, each worked separately in pattern, then joined again to finish the decrease section.

Instructions for a version without the openings are also provided.
