Salmon Run Scarf

After sharing the twisted stitch salmon motif from my Upstream sweater, many knitters asked for it on a scarf. Here it is.

Knit flat with clean edges, this scarf showcases the textural salmon motif in a way that is accessible. It offers the chance to explore the challenge of the motif without the commitment of a full sweater. Designed for worsted weight yarn, it can also be adapted to DK or fingering for a lighter fabric.

Thank you for the encouragement and enthusiasm around this motif. That interest is what brought this design to life.

Perfect for anyone who loves fish, texture, or an exploratory knit, this scarf carries the Upstream salmon motif into a versatile new format.
