Long slashes of color radiate diagonally across this parallelogram-shaped scarf. A combination of brioche, garter, and seed stitch creates lofty, squishable texture and a completely reversible fabric.

This scarf is knit in two modular triangles and then grafted together along its central diagonal line. If not using a color for more than 2 rows, break the color and rejoin it later.

Gauge is not critical for this pattern, but using a different yarn weight or needle size will affect the size of the finished scarf.
