Freia Fine Handpaints Highlands Scarf Knitting Pattern

The Freia Fine Handpaints Highlands Scarf is a lovely way to turn mini-skeins or Minikins sets into a colorful and cozy finished project. Shifting colors in the Minikins paired with stripes and short rows that form waving peaks and valleys combine to create a scarf rich with color and texture. The Highlands Scarf is knit flat from end to end in garter stitch with narrow stripes framing short row sections and echoing their waves. An excellent way to maximize the yardage provided in a Minikins Set, this project is also unique in how it leans into the shifting colors to show them to their best advantage.
