CONSTRUCTION
- This scarf is worked in a modular fashion. The center (chevron section) of the scarf is worked first, beginning with two setup triangles that are joined together on the WS before beginning the main chevron section of the scarf. The outer side borders are picked up and worked outwards from the center section of the scarf in two separate flat parts. Next, the top and bottom borders are picked up and worked from the top or bottom edge of the scarf, plus from the edges of the side borders.
- After the center section of scarf is finished, the side borders are picked up and worked in Color 1. When side borders are complete, Top and Bottom borders are picked up and worked across stitches of center scarf and both side edgings.
