Lindal Tørkle
The Lindal Tørkle knitting pattern is part of my Lindal Collection and features a cascading line of increasingly larger short-row shapes that are mirrored both across the width of the scarf and the length to create a beautiful symmetrical design that can be worn similar to a cravat and tied, or secured with a pin or brooch in the front.

Ends: The nature of this design requires a lot of slipping stitches to move the design towards the center and/or back out again depending on which variation you choose to knit. Because of this, you could need to sew in a number of ends after the piece is complete. You can however choose to sew them in as you go and/or work with bobbins for color sections to cut down on how many ends you will have after completion of the design.
Diagrams: The pattern comes with instruction for four different variations; A, B, C, and D, along with vector diagrams for each to be used for both color placement and knitting order.
