The Alma Scarf are inspired by the Tudor court of Henry VIII and Hilary Mantel’s novels Wolf Hall, Bring Up the Bodies, and The Mirror and the Light. The scarf is knit flat, from point-to-point. The design features a panel of seed stitches framed by panels of 1-by-1 cables, and I-cord edges. The pattern includes charted instructions. The finished scarf should be long enough to wrap around your neck once and tie in the front.
