Ulukayn is a skinny scarf starting from the tip with a small number of stitches and expanding with increases. The work continues straight with a consistent stitch count. Stitches are decreased for the final tip to mirror the starting shape. The tree motif (Ulukayın motif) is created with travelling slip stitches while Estonian Nupps embellish the branches. The pattern has 3 sections: Roots, Branches and Crown. Colors alternate every other row and C1 stitches are slipped to form the tree motif. A 2-color 2-stitch I-cord border is worked at the edges.
