Hands Entwined is a scarf pattern designed for Handspun Hope, an organization which employs marginalized women and widows in Rwanda. These women hand card, spin and dye organic merino, transforming it from raw wool into knittable yarn. The stacked stitch colorwork in this scarf reminds me of interlocked fingers. It tells the story of handmade materials turned into handknit goods.

Pattern Info

The asymmetrical pattern is formed using stacked stitches, a colorwork technique which is best suited for intermediate level knitters with an understanding of increases and decreases. Video Tutorials are available for some sections of the instructions. There are also instructions to make a cowl version and a longer scarf in this motif included in the pattern.
