Knitted scarf with zig-zag pattern. The scarf is made from a cake yarn with long colour changes. I used 2 balls of yarn at a time. The changes of colors make the zig-zag pattern visible and interesting. I made 2 scarves one is darker – the alternation of colors is below he pattern and second one is alternation of white yarn and cake yarn, . .
