Manta Ray is a simple, elegant linen scarf employing mostly garter stitch, designed to showcase Maiwa’s gorgeous Naturally Dyed Organic Linen Honest Yarn. It begins with only a few stitches and increases in size as you knit.

When laid flat its shape is not unlike a Manta Ray. It can be worn wrapped around your neck as a cowl or decoratively draped and fastened with a pin.
