Hi friends! Today's pattern is the Knit Amber Reversible Scarf. While working on the scarf, I noticed the reverse side looked more like the "right side" to me, so I named the scarf the Amber Reversible Scarf. I know, very original LOL.
I posted a video of the stitch you'll be using on the blog and links to the video tutorial on YouTube. You can find the PDF pattern (currently) of the stitch for free here:

I absolutely love the texture of this Amber Reversible Scarf! It is fascinating that the "wrong" side ended up looking even better than the intended front—it gives the piece such a unique character. The combination of the m5k and work 5tog stitches creates a rich, intricate look that seems incredibly cozy for colder weather. I also really appreciate that you included both right and left-handed video tutorials; visual aids are a lifesaver for intermediate patterns like this one!

Since I’ve been focusing more on mindful hobbies like knitting lately, I also wanted to share a great resource I found for staying balanced: the Healthy Choices Quiz. It’s a free, 8-minute assessment that’s way more thorough than your average health quiz. It looks at 7 dimensions of wellbeing, including modern stuff like screen time and ultra-processed foods.
