Sometimes you just need a small, simple piece to complete your outfit. Sometimes you just need a little bit of extra warmth instead of a large scarf. And sometimes you just want to enjoy knitting with something unique like fine camel fiber. Sergio ticks all these boxes, giving you a light accessory that can be worn in many stylish ways. This beginner-friendly scarf uses slipped stitches that are then twisted, creating a textured chevron motif on a garter stitch background. It’s simply architectural. And the name? Well, this scarf shares its name with my much-loved ukulele, Sergio.

Construction Notes
The scarf is worked flat widthwise. The foundation of the piece is a garter stitch background, and the chevron motif is created by slipping stitches on the RS to raise them in the fabric and then twisting those same stitches (p1 tbl) on the WS to give a little bit more visual interest to the texture. The pattern includes both written instructions and a chart for the main motif.

Sizes:
One Size

Measurements:
4.5”/11.5 cm wide and 51”/129.5 cm long, after wet blocking.

Yarn:
Pascuali Camel DK, 100% camel wool (87 yards/80 meters per 25g ball); approximately 296 yards/271 meters (4 balls). Shown in colorway number 10 (Walnut).

Needles:
US 6 (4.0mm) straight or circular needles, or size needed to obtain gauge.

Gauge:
33 sts and 46 rows = 4.5”/11.5 cm in pattern (including slipped stitch edges), after blocking.

Important: note that the gauge is measured in a 4.5”/11.5 cm square instead of a more typical 4”/10 cm square. This is because the swatch is worked over the entire width of the scarf (all 33 sts), including the slipped stitch edges.

Tools:
Blocking pins and boards for wet blocking.

Skill Level:
Beginner

Skills Required:
Long tail cast on; slipping stitches; purling through the back loop.
