The Comet Trails Scarf features 2 different cable motifs of two colours on each side of the fabric! Knit the scarf as shown or mix up the colours to make it your own!

Fission Knitting is a reversible knitting technique where two yarns are worked in a marl. It creates a super squishy fabric with different raised colourwork cables on each side of the fabric. This motif is designed so you will practice each Fission Knitting stitch before moving onto the next. But you won’t have to wait – you will see the reversible magic start to happen within the first few rows! Please see the Yarniverse information below for a full workshop on the working these designs.

The Comet Trails Scarf is the second in the Comet Trails Patterns. You will learn how to establish the colour of each cable element – then watch that how that colour intertwines up the length of the scarf. See the Comet Trails Blanket & Wrap to mix up the colours in multiple cable motifs.
