This reversible scarf is just the right size to keep your neck and chest warm as you tend your flock. It is a perfect beginner project because it works up quickly in a simple pattern of knits and purls.
The pattern includes two different PDFs to download, one for the fingering weight version and one for the worsted weight.
Worsted weight version:
- one skein of 100% Gulf Coast Native Wool, 150 yards, 3 ply worsted weight yarn
- gauge:12 stitches and 16 rows to 4” (10 cm)
- size: 6.5”(16.5 cm) wide x 37” (94 cm) long
Fingering weight version:
- one skein of 90% Gulf Coast Native Wool/10% Merino, 265 yards, 2 ply fingering weight yarn
- gauge: 22 stitches and 26 rows to 4” (10 cm)
- size: 6” (15 cm) wide x 43” (109 cm) long
Wool of Louisiana is commercially spun from wool from herds in the Zachary, Louisiana area. Unfortunately, it is no longer available online.
Suggested yarn replacements are any worsted or fingering weight yarn. Would be lovely with handspun.
Skill level: beginner - only requires knits and purls
