This narrow intarsia scarf is a great opportunity to use up all your precious lace-weight mohair and alpaca leftovers. Mix and match shapes in a playful way!

SIZE
One size.

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
Width: 3” / 7.5 cm.
Length: 64–70.75” / 160–177 cm (12 chart blocks).

MATERIALS
Yarn: 1 strand of fingering-weight base yarn held together with 1 contrasting lace-weight strand of mohair or alpaca blend yarn. Choose a base yarn that is not too smooth but with a slightly raw surface, so that both yarns blend together well.

A single-ply yarn can be a good base yarn as well.
For 12 blocks, you will need approx. a total of:
MC: 262 yds / 240 m.
CC: 242 yds / 221 m.

You can fill the blocks from only one contrast colour up to multiple colours. As the graphic shapes of the 3 blocks only require a small amount of a yarn (1.6–6.6 yds / 1.5–6 m), you can use the tiniest bits of lace-weight scraps.

The sample was knitted in Isager Tweed (MC) in the colourway Sand, which is a tweedy, fingering-weight wool-mohair mix yarn. For CC, a mix of various lace-weight silk mohair and brushed alpaca yarns were used.

Needles: US 1.5 / 2.5 mm needles.

GAUGE
26 sts x 21 garter ridges (42 rows) to 4” / 10 cm in Garter St, after blocking.

CONSTRUCTION
This scarf is knitted following one of the 3 chart blocks while combining your MC yarn with colourful lace-weight scraps. You can mix and match the chart blocks according to your preference. Each chart block can be coloured differently, ending up creat‑ing at least four different patterns from each block.
