Colorwork Made Easy with the Latticework Scarf

I love the look of colorwork (and in fact wrote a whole book about colorwork knitting) but honestly I don’t do it all that often because I’m lazy.

One way to make colorwork knitting look a lot fancier without more work is to use a multicolored yarn in your pattern. That way it looks like the color changes a lot, but you’re just knitting with the same two yarns throughout.

Genius, right?

Try out this technique for yourself with the lovely Latticework Scarf from Knifty Knittings. Using a solid color for the background and a variegated for the colorwork, it makes a design that looks a lot more complicated than it is. This one is also worked in a tube so you can’t see the back and it’s super warm thanks to stranded knitting and a double-layer of scarf.
