I love the stitch I’ve used for this scarf – it’s so simple and calming to knit, once you get used to the repeat. It’s a softer take on the classic fisherman’s rib, with the same cosy feel but an easier rhythm. I wear mine every winter – it’s brilliant for keeping you warm and snug.

It always amazes me how much warmth you get from just wrapping something around your neck. On those crisp, chilly days in autumn and winter, there’s nothing better than a hand knit, made with love, to keep your neck warm and your heart even warmer.
There’s a matching hat available too, using the same relaxing stitch pattern – perfect for knitting up a set for yourself or as a thoughtful gift.

If you wanted a garment in the stitch then try Kyle Jumper or the Kyle Jacket with Hood.
