The Meander Scarf by Catherine Salter Bayar is a 1-skein boomerang shaped scarf that ebbs and flows in ever changing, nearly reversible stitch directions, much like its namesake river in the Aegean region of Turkey, using a repetition of whirling eyelets to demarcate the textures of each different motif. Worked flat from the narrow end with consistent garter edges.

Needles and notions are not included.
This scarf is knit using US 7 knitting needles.
Note: a few knitters have experienced running out of yarn in the last few rows, so frogged and reworked using US 6/4mm instead of the US 7/4.5mm recommended. Frequent switching between knits and purls can vary yarn usage based on differing tensions between those stitches.
