Nothing says springtime like the taste of locally-grown asparagus. Whether you’re dining al fresco or digging the vegetable patch, take the edge off that springtime air with a light yet cosy alpaca scarf, with a pattern inspired by asparagus spears. Although this would suit a man or a woman, the Artesano alpaca yarn used has a rugged tweedy look but is soft and warm to the touch, making this a great choice for a man’s accessory – whether you’re knitting for yourself or as a gift for the chef or gardener in your life.

Sparrow grass is the old English name for asparagus!

Also available in a more delicate women’s version - Asparagus Lace Scarf - buy both patterns for just £3!

The pattern has now been revised & tested & is released with new charts. Please note: some parts of this pattern are in chart form only.
