Borough Market Scarf

Welcome to the Borough Market knitting pattern, inspired by the historic market on the south end of London Bridge, which has thrived for over 1000 years. This vibrant marketplace is renowned for its fresh produce, game birds, extraordinary cheeses, and an array of culinary delights, making it a treasure trove for food lovers. As the seasons change and the air turns crisp, this delightful scarf pattern is perfect for cozying up during your shopping escapades. Crafted using worsted weight yarn, this scarf is designed to knit up quickly, making it an ideal last-minute gift for friends or family. The scarf is knit lengthwise and features a beautifully shaped design with short rows that give it an elegant curve. The geometric lace border enhances its beauty and versatility, allowing it to be worn as a narrow shawl or wrapped multiple times around the neck for added warmth and style. To create this stunning accessory, you’ll need a few essential knitting skills: casting on, knitting, purling, decreasing, increasing, and working short rows with hidden wraps. Don’t worry if you’re unfamiliar with short rows – a comprehensive photo tutorial is included to guide you through the process. This pattern requires a gauge of 18 stitches and 24 rows over 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch, ensuring that your scarf has the perfect fit and drape. Dive into this lovely knitting project and bring a piece of Borough's charm into your wardrobe!
