Pattern Overview
The Brittle Ice Scarf features the Hurdle stitch, which is a 4-row repeat.
This scarf is knit from tip to tip with DK-weight merino wool.
It begins at the narrowest point, and the stitches are increased along one edge; then a straight section in the middle is worked, and then the stitches are decreased along the same edge to the other tip.
The first and last 2 stitches form an i-cord edging, which makes the edges look neat and prevents them from curling.
This scarf is a great match for the Brittle Ice Headband.

Pattern Notes

Increases: One stitch is increased at the beginning of every 4th row. The increase is made after the 2 i-cord edge stitches.
Decreases: One stitch is decreased at the beginning of every 4th row. The decrease is made after the 2 i-cord edge stitches.
