Swedish Lovikka Scarf
This pattern is based on the Lovikka Mitten originally designed in northern Sweden by Erika Aittamaa in 1892. It is knit with a chunky yarn then slightly fulled (felted) and brushed to bring out the wool’s natural halo. It is embellished with embroidery in three different color yarns, and a tassel is added to each scarf point.
Materials:
Alafoss Lopi, 2 balls White #0051
Embroidery and tassel yarn: worsted weight, 3 yards in each of 3 colors. Sample is embroidered in DMC worsted weight tapestry wool in Yellow #7786, Blue #7318, and Red #7544.
Clip-on style stitch markers (optional)
Tapestry needle
