Woven Rainbow Scarf
Knitting Pattern

The Woven Rainbow Scarf is a simple knit with a beautiful allover stitch pattern. It looks great in both solid and ombre colorways.

The recommended colorway looks a lot like a true rainbow, but its a really good choice for this scarf because each color contains subtle variations. This prevents the color transitions from looking too blocky.

This knitting pattern is worked back and forth on circular needles. It incorporates knits and slips. It is suitable for a beginner.
