Timber Ridge
Designed by: Jill Zielinski
The Timber Ridge is a bold, graphic colorwork infinity scarf designed for both beauty and ease. Knit seamlessly in the round as one giant tube, there’s no wrong side to fuss with—and no ends to weave in, since they’re hidden inside! The generous loop offers styling versatility: wear it long and relaxed, or double it up around your neck for extra woolly warmth.

NOTES:

• Colorwork is all worked from a chart.
• It is worked in the round as a tube, then grafted together using the Kitchener stitch.
• When working stranded colorwork, you’ll sometimes carry yarn across the back of your work — these are called floats. If a float is longer than about 6 stitches, we recommend “catching” it so it doesn’t snag or pull on the inside of your garment.
Here are two great techniques to try:
-
How to Catch Floats – a simple way to secure long floats as you knit.
-
Ladder Back Jacquard Method – an advanced method that creates a tidy, flexible fabric on the inside.
