The Triangle Scarf


I made this striped scarf for Stephie who is small, young and blond. It's a very soft scarf that is shaped to the shoulders. This pattern simply starts with four stitches and increases one stitch every other row until you hit the midpoint. Then you decrease one stitch every other row. The yarn is changed every other row to give a striped effect. I like this pattern and plan to try it with some different yarns.

Yarn:
One skein Caron’s Cozy ( a boucle yarn that’s 75% acrylic and 21% polyester)
One skein Bernat’s Frenzy ( a fuzzy yarn that’s 37% nylon, 30% acrylic, 12% polyester, 10.5% alpaca, and 10.5% mohair)
Needles: Size 12

Instructions
