Totally Tubular Scarf by Sarah E. Chapman

Craft: Knitting

Six colors of Silk Blend come together in a spiral knit scarf - alternate dropping and picking up colors as you knit in the round to create a tubular scarf with one-row stripes!

The Totally Tubular Scarf is knit in Silk Blend, our DK-weight single-ply silk and wool yarn. We chose 3229 Lush (deep green), 3214 Oxygen (light blue), 3079 Chartreuse (bright lime), 300X Topaz (fawn brown), 3232 Peachblossom (light pink), and 3241 Fruit Punch (medium pink)

Notes

The Tube Cowl is spiral knit in the round in 6 colors. This cowl is knit in a spiral to avoid the jog at the beginning/end of the round and carrying unused colors up the inside of the work. Both ends will curl slightly.

A couple notes as you knit your tubular scarf: keep an even tension on the yarn to avoid puckered stitches and be sure to pay attention to the stripe sequence as you spiral knit.
