Colour Drift Scarf

About this Pattern
This is a fun, scrappy version of the Colour Drift Shawl I designed for Skein Sisters Fabulous Sock release. Rather than a large, asymmetrical shawl, this version is a long rectangular scarf/wrap.
It’s a relaxing, easy knit and the perfect companion for TV knitting, travel knitting or for when you just need a palate cleanse after a difficult project! Choose three skeins of beautiful yarn and let them do all the work as they drift in and out of each knitted section, creating blocks of colour, swirling stripes and interesting textures. Whilst it’s a simple and easy knit; the colour and pattern changes keep it interesting and you’ll be finished before you know it!
