Great ways to start Fission Knitting!



Meet the Maia Scarf—a quick, satisfying introduction to Fission Knitting! Holding two strands of worsted yarn together gives this scarf a plush, marled texture with a effortless boho vibe. Because it’s fully reversible, both sides showcase a unique, beautiful cable motif—meaning there’s no wrong side to wear.

Worked on 8mm (US 11) needles, it flies off the needles while teaching you the core Fission Knitting cables.

Full stitch tutorials are included so you can watch your confidence grow with every repeat.
