Craft: Knitting
Bon Melange is a delicate, triangular scarf that mixes three colors of silk mohair to create new marled shades in asymmetric color blocks.
A simple triangular scarf/kerchief is worked sideways, increasing from a narrow point to the full width, then decreasing to the opposite point.
It’s worked holding 2 strands of Bonmoher throughout, changing one strand at a time to create the color blocking and melange effect.
