Vertices Unite!

I recently completed an exciting project that I'm excited to share with you! It's the Vertices Unite scarf, based on a design by Stephen West. This scarf is a masterpiece of geometric shapes and offers a wonderful opportunity to combine different colors and shapes.

About the instructions

Stephen West's Vertices Unite pattern is known for its playful exploration of geometric shapes. It uses increases, decreases and short rows to form the different sections. These sections are either knitted directly together or joined seamlessly, making the end result look like an intricate puzzle.

materials and tools

For my scarf I used the following materials:

• Yarn weight: Fingering and Sport
• Needle size: 3.5-4 mm circular knitting needles
• Additional tools: Tapestry needle, waste yarn or a spare circular knitting needle

I chose a colorful selection of sport weight yarns (but you can also use fingering yarns) to emphasize the playful character of the scarf. Here are the colors and yarns I used, per 100g:

• Rosy Green Cheeky Merino Joy in "Edelweiss"
• Rosy Green Cheeky Merino Joy in “Melange Pure”
• Rosy Green Cheeky Merino Joy in “Melange Terra”
• Rosy Green Cheeky Merino Joy in “Melange Lava”
• Rosy Green Cheeky Merino Joy in “Black Cat”

knitting experience and tips

Knitting this scarf was a wonderful experience. The different sections kept the project exciting and varied. Here are some tips I picked up while knitting:

• Increases and decreases: Make sure to work the increases and decreases exactly according to the pattern to keep the geometric shapes clean.
• Color choice: Experiment with different color combinations to personalize the scarf. Being bold with color pays off here!

Conclusion and Presentation

After knitting, I carefully stretched the scarf to achieve the final shape and size. The result is a soft, colorful scarf with an impressive span of about 254 cm and a width of 58 cm in the large format.

Conclusion

The "Vertices Unite" scarf is an absolute highlight in my knitting collection and is perfect as a gift or as a statement piece for your own wardrobe. If you fancy a varied and colorful knitting project, I can only recommend this pattern.
