S Curve

S Curve is a new - and improved! - take on my old Sunday scarf design. Improvements include tidier edges, easier short rows, simpler increases, clearer instructions, more resources ...

... it's so much more than just an update, that it needed a brand new name.

S Curve is knitted in a wide bias rib, with short German short rows along one edge, and both of these together create a ruffley ripple of knitted loveliness.

The scarf requires a scant 200 yards of sport-weight yarn. It's knitted in two identical pieces, grafted together in the center. And if you're not too sure of your grafting skills, we have a few links in the pattern's Resources section to help guide you through.
