Our Reversible Rivulets Scarf is the same on the front as the back, so that it wraps around your neck without any finagling and with one side just as beautiful as the other… The ultimate achievement in scarf knitting!

A gorgeous show of texture, pattern, and dimension, the Reversible Rivulet Scarf features twisted rib cables that cascade along the scarf’s entire length, like a mesmerizing stream.

Our original version of this scarf was in eye-popping Yellow Zest, but this time around we went with a softer tone: Trout Brown, one of our very favorite Alpaca Pure colors. Like a river trout, its purple-blue glow is softened by warm brown undertones. Incredibly cozy in 100% super baby alpaca, the Reversible Rivulet Scarf is also a wonderful knitting challenge… Not terribly difficult but awfully interesting and definitely satisfying!
