Pattern Overview
The Fading Light Scarf is knit flat from the bottom up with DK-weight merino wool.
The design features a combination of twists and slipped stitches.
The first and last 2 stitches form an i-cord edging, which makes the edges look neat and prevents them from curling.
First, you will cast on the required number of stitches. Next, you will knit the body of the scarf until you reach your desired length, and you will bind off the stitches.
This scarf is a great match for the Fading Light Hat.

Pattern Notes
Pattern: The scarf features a combination of twists (1×1) and slipped stitches between the i-cord edges.
This pattern uses two types of slipped stitches – with yarn in back and with yarn in front.
I-cord edges: The i-cord edging is created by knitting the first 2 stitches of every row and slipping the last 2 stitches of every row with yarn in front.
On the wrong side, work the edge stitches as described above and work the stitches between the edges as they appear – knit the knit stitches and purl the purl stitches.
