Construction Notes
The scarf is worked flat widthwise. The foundation of the piece is a garter stitch background, and the chevron motif is created by slipping stitches on the RS to raise them in the fabric and then twisting those same stitches (p1 tbl) on the WS to give a little bit more visual interest to the texture. The pattern includes both written instructions and a chart for the main motif.
