Pattern Notes

This scarf is knit flat in garter stitch, with either an i-cord or slip-stitch edge. The slip-stitch edge allows for other embellishments like an applied crochet border. Written for both fingering weight and DK weight, this tiny scarf is a great way to use up leftovers or half skeins of yarn. The ends of each scarf taper to a point, with increases shaping the initial taper and decreases shaping the final taper at the end.
