Meadow Asymmetric Triangle Scarf

Make a statement with this modern asymmetric triangle scarf in the meadow stitch. The asymmetric shape is what sets it apart — it drapes at an angle across the shoulders and ties or tucks in ways a symmetric shawl cannot, so it styles differently every time you wear it.

The entire scarf comes from a single Mandala yarn cake, growing from just two puff stitches into a triangle about 35 1/2 inches across and 18 1/2 inches deep. The cake's long color changes paint the stripes for you — no yarn changes, no ends to weave, just row after satisfying row of puff and cluster puff texture.

You will need a J hook (6 mm), one cake of size 3 yarn (I used Lion Brand Mandala), a tapestry needle, and scissors. Both special stitches are explained step by step, and the pattern notes walk you through the chain-one rhythm at the ends that keeps the shape growing evenly.
