Keath Tweed Scarf
Not currently available
Gauge: 26 sts = 5.5 inches across in scarf pattern @ row 4 (widest part of scarf).
Tension:
26 sts = 5.5 inches across in scarf pattern @ row 4 (widest part of scarf).
Materials:
• 2 100g/128yds skeins Cascade 128 Tweed colour used here is 6722 or other chunky-weight yarn/wool (I have only tested this pattern with the Cascade Tweed so I would recommend wool or wool blends. I think it would probably work OK in cotton or acrylic as well, but use your discretion).
• set of 6mm/US10 needles (if you are a really tight knitter you will probably want to go up a size)
• tapestry needle
Skill-level • Easy-Intermediate:
Skills: knit, purl, being able to recognize knit and purl stitches in fabric, increasing, decreasing
Finished Size:
56 inches long. You will probably have enough yarn left to go a bit longer or to fringe if desired. The yarn relaxes a bit after blocking, so if you use this yarn, keep close track.

I love this stitch pattern and it’s distinctness. As a motif rather than an overall pattern, it provides a bit of an Aran feel without cabling.
