CONSTRUCTION

Kessel Scarf is knit bottom-up in the round to create a long tube. It starts with a classic long-tail cast-on and a plain brioche section. You then go into a simple crossed pattern, repeated several times with plain sections in between. The scarf finishes with another band of plain brioche for symmetry. You may choose to seam the ends shut to make a cowl, so that the scarf lays flatter, or to stitch them together to create a long tube cowl.
