SNOWFLAKE scarf

#snowflakescarf  #qqyarnover

The SNOWFLAKE Scarf is knitted using “blow yarn”, which makes it soft and cozy and feels great on your skin. When you wear the scarf, the two snowflake motifs at the ends will match and give the illusion of being one.

The scarf is knitted as a ‘tube’ in stockinette stitch in the round and is double layered. The motifs are knit in the round in a simple way, making this design ideal for beginners as it does not require many techniques, especially those who are new to stranded knits.
