A delicate embroidered scarf, Ovid is a good introduction to intarsia. Knitted sideways from point to point, it consists of relaxing bias garter and stockinette stitch in the center. Tassels are added on each end, and flowers are embroidered in small clusters placed along the scarf.
A video tutorial is included explaining how to set-up and handle the intarsia method.
