Colours of Autumn scarf

Yarn pack for Colours of Autumn scarf

Colours of Autumn is worked, as traditionally, in the round, starting with a provisional cast-on. The stitches of each of the open ends, at the bottom and at the top of the scarf, are separately grafted together, to make a reversible scarf.

The colours in this scarf were inspired by memories of autumn leaves. The allover diced pattern has one motif on the lighter diamonds and six different motifs on the darker diamonds. The pattern colours really glow against the warm dark-brown background.

You will also need the Colours of Autumn pattern from Fair Isle Knitting and Design.
