Two Way Ruffle Scarf by Churchmouse Yarns and Teas

This romantic scarf was inspired by a clever piece our friend Candace brought home from Italy. Each one-skein scarf can be knit in simple stockinette or easy eyelet lace, then worn on its own tied in a variety of ways, or layered one inside the other for double ruffle drama. Go for high contrast or soft, subtle shades. Oh, the possibilities!

This scarf is worked from a provisional cast-on to one ruffled end. Then the cast-on is removed, stitches are picked up, and the second ruffle is worked in the other direction. This creates identically increased ruffles at both ends.
