The Rainbow Road Trip Scarf features bold stripes and a subtle slip stitch texture that adds depth and dimension without bulk. Made in two or more colors of fingering weight yarn, it’s lightweight yet cozy, perfect for layering, and showcases vibrant color contrasts.
This scarf was made with "Shaina's Shawl Bundle", a curated set of yarns with one full skein and five mini skeins. This pattern, as well as two others, is free with the purchase of a Shawl Bundle. Check out the color options here.
