It is all about shape and color.

The scarf is made out of fingering sock yarn in two colors. There are no purl stitches involved, basically it is a garter stitch scarf with striped and solid areas which gains interest through the intarsia that forms a “V”. In addition also the shape of the finished scarf reminds of an elongated “V”, formed by increases and decreases on both sides and mirrored after the center.

It is not a difficult pattern. To say it in the words of one of my testers, it is a pattern that needs attention.
