Loon Lake Scarf

About This Pattern

Loon Lake is a gorgeously squishy scarf that will keep you cozy all winter long. The main pattern is knit in a reversible alternating diagonal stitch with a seed-stitch border, creating a beautifully textured piece you’ll wear again and again. The blue oversized version makes a bold statement, while the gold version has universal appeal.
