The Drapes Well Scarf is a rectangular infinity scarf that is knit flat and then joined at the cast on and the bind off edges. The scarf is knit with 2 strands of yarn held together in a combination of the garter stitch and the brioche honeycomb stitch patterns. The brioche honeycomb stitch pattern is a combination of slipped stitches and yarnovers in one row and knit 2 togethers in the next row. The yarn (Lion Brand® Yarn TruBoo) is smooth and silky that drapes well making it ideal to knit this infinity scarf. The 2 strands of yarn held together in the Drapes Well Scarf adds extra warmth around the neck making it an accessory suitable for cold weather.
