Havskum (scarf version)

Introducing the Havskum Scarf, a beautiful small shawl inspired by the Danish word for sea foam, ***Havskum***. This stunning scarf is knitted side to side, featuring an elegant lace edge that is skillfully integrated into the design. The lace pattern exhibits a unique wave effect, making the asymmetric ‘wave pattern’ stand out and enhancing the overall aesthetic of the piece.

This knitting pattern provides comprehensive instructions for creating a lovely scarf with dimensions of 160 centimeters in width and 50 centimeters in length. Tailored for intermediate to advanced knitters, this pattern guides you through various techniques. You should be comfortable keeping track of your counts with stitch markers, following detailed written instructions, and reading charts. Additionally, you'll need to know how to make increases and decreases, as well as how to knit a lace edge onto the main body of the shawl—which includes the vital skill of picking up stitches and knitting two together.

The Havskum Scarf pattern requires a yarn that achieves a gauge of 25 stitches per 10 centimeters, which translates to approximately 150 meters per 50 grams in yardage. For optimal results, the scarf is beautifully showcased in hand-dyed (natural dye) Merino 300 from Chester Wool Company, enhancing its luxurious feel and appearance.

Please note that the pattern does not come with finished items, yarn, or any additional materials. Whether you're looking to add a one-of-a-kind accessory to your wardrobe or searching for a thoughtful handmade gift, the Havskum Scarf is the perfect project to showcase your knitting skills and creativity.
