Newport Scarf
Construction: The Newport scarf is a beautifully designed accessory featuring a deep ribbed edging that elegantly transitions into a textured combination of cable and twisted stitches. This unique stitch pattern not only enhances the visual appeal but also ensures that the scarf is incredibly warm and cozy, making it a perfect addition to your winter wardrobe.
This pattern comes with complete written instructions along with detailed charted instructions for easy reference. The Newport scarf is crafted by knitting flat (back and forth in rows), which simplifies the process and allows for an enjoyable knitting experience. For convenience, I recommend using a 16” circular needle. Many knitters prefer this style for larger projects, but feel free to use straight needles or a longer circular needle if that suits your preference better!
Skill level: Intermediate Skills needed: This pattern is ideal for knitters with an intermediate skill level. You should be comfortable with basic knitting and purling techniques, as well as have some experience working with cables and twisted stitches.
Size: One Size - designed to fit both teenagers and adults. The scarf boasts a width of 10” and an impressive length of 94”, ensuring ample coverage on chilly days. The gauge for this pattern is 24 stitches and 28 rows per 4” in stockinette stitch when knit flat.
Materials:
- US 8 (5.0 mm) 16” circular needle or straight needles
