Knit a piece of textile history!
The pattern for this scarf is based on Barbara Walker’s interpretation of the Dura-Europos “knitting” fragment (later proven to be nalbinding, not knitting at all. More information can be found in the excellent Knitty article on the subject, found here).
The scarf is reversible and knits up quickly because of its shape. It’s really like knitting only half a scarf!
