The Pattern

The Stained Glass Scarf captures everything that makes the granny stitch so beloved, but with a fresh, contemporary twist. Instead of classic motifs, this design turns the stitch into flowing panels of color framed by a fine mesh overlay, creating a reversible fabric that’s as interesting on the back as it is on the front.

The combination of solid and self-striping yarns gives each scarf its own personality. No two versions will ever look quite the same! Light, soft, and endlessly versatile, it’s the kind of project that feels meditative in your hands and instantly elevates any outfit.

Wear it long and loose, or wrap it snugly on chillier days. Either way, it’s a piece that brings joy to both the making and the wearing. Pair it with the Stained Glass Jumper for a beautifully cohesive look!
