Gansey and Aran stitch combinations are perennially popular, and accessories such as this long scarf offer the opportunity to try out several different patterns in a single project. Worked from end to end in Valley Yarns Worthington, a blend of wool, alpaca, and viscose, it’s a great project for the adventurous beginner to practice stitch textures.
