Knit Picks Progression Scarf
 
Everyone loves a cozy scarf, which makes this week’s 12 Weeks of Gifting pattern perfect for, well, gifting! The shifting colors of the elegant Progression Scarf pattern may look complicated to knit, but Chroma Worsted does all the heavy lifting. All you do is work 3 balls alongside each other and make sure to start each ball at a different color point (e.g., light – dark – light). The result is three bands of color gracefully flowing beside one another. Every third stitch is a seed stitch, providing a subtle but eye-catching texture.
