Description

Inspired by the Pinterest-forecasted trend, Rococo Revival, the Rococo Bandit triangle scarf puts a modern twist on the late Baroque-era style. Rococo fashion is known for its ultra-feminine opulence, often featuring ruffles and pearls.

The Rococo bandit utilizes those same design elements but is scaled down for a wearable and versatile piece. This project is knit with a double strand of two different-weight yarns, from the top-center out, with a subtly curved top edge.

It’s worked in Stockinette stitch, with added faux pearls or beads and stitches picked up with a single strand for the ruffles. The scarf utilizes a clever bind-off to prevent curling, giving it a professional, finished edge.
