The use of harnesses for knitting a scarf has both positive and negative sides. Among the advantages is the undoubted attractiveness of wonderful patterns with braids. On the other side of the scale is the presence of a wrong side.
As a rule, it is customary to use bilateral ornaments when knitting scarves , as this accessory wraps around the neck several times. But if you really want to knit a scarf with braids with knitting needles, you can make a snood or wear the product correctly.
Which model to choose
Depending on what role the scarf is called to play, it is knitted from warm or cotton threads using a dense or openwork pattern. The photo shows a classic scarf with braids knitting. The patterns of such ornaments are familiar to many knitters.

Knitting : Scarf with braids
The rapports of this ornament are placed in a checkerboard pattern.
The width of each of them is 16 loops, and the height is 18 rows. The diagram shows all the rows, but only the front ones will be described, since the wrong ones are knitted according to the figure. The described sequence for each row should be repeated 4 times (for the formation of 8 rapports).
