MATERIALS
YARN: in DK weight yarn:
MC (brown) - 320 yds 293 m
CC (green) - 180 yds 165 m

Sample was knit with Malabrigo Rastita (100% Merino Wool; 310 yds/100g) in Glitter (MC) and Mostaza (CC).

It’s best to choose a somewhat sturdy yarn for this scarf. More delicate yarns that create a drapey fabric, such as those with silk content may not work as well. I have knit this design in several yarns and found Malabrigo Rastita and other 100% wool yarns to create the best fabric to wear the scarf in all the ways shown.

NEEDLES: Circular needle in size US 7 (4.5 cm) OR size required to obtain gauge. Scarf is knit flat on a circular needle, so exact length of the needle isn’t critical. Anything 24” (60 cm) or longer will work.

NOTIONS: 4 markers, 11 buttons about ½” (1.25cm) in diameter, darning needle for weaving ends.

GAUGE
20 sts and 33 rows = 4” (10 cm) in blocked stockinette.
