Little Lumber Scarf ENGLISH
Little Lumber Scarf is a little scarf worked in a classic gingham pattern using double knitting technique. The colorwork is created using two colors of yarn held together to make three different color combinations. Fringes are worked at both ends.
Yarn:
2 strands of CaMaRose Midnatssol held together.
(baby alpaca / merino / lyocell)
25 gram = 200 meters [218 yards]
Size: One size
25 grams in color A (brown 9548)
25 grams in color B (beige 9506)
About the yarn Midnatssol and light and dark colors: Some of the colors have a black “inner thread” and some have a white “inner thread”. The dark colors with the black inner thread are a bit more fluffy with longer fibers and make a more dense fabric than the lighter colors. The correct gauge might be achieved with different needle sizes depending on which of these two yarn qualities you use. If you choose to mix a color with the black thread and one with the white thread, the structure of the fabric will vary a bit between the 3 different colors of the squares/checks. The scarf on the picture is a mix of a dark and a light color.
An alternative yarn could be 2 strands of Zen from Lang Yarns held together.
25 grams = 200 meters (merino / suri alpaca / silk)
