Novita Halaus x Poolaknits: Kääre scarf
The Kääre scarf is knit flat. The textured finish is created with a pattern of alternating knit and purl stitches. Although the two sides look different, the scarf is reversible and has no wrong side. If you’d like, you can finish off your project with some sumptuous tassels.
