YARN USED FOR SAMPLE

  • Plymouth—Baby Alpaca dk
  • 100% baby alpaca

  • 3 balls
  • Approximately 375 yards-(343 meters) are needed for this scarf

For your scarf to be the correct size, it is not the brand of yarn that matters, but the GAUGE that is important. It is best to refer to the yardage to determine how many skeins or balls to purchase.

FOR A SUBSTITUTE YARN

SUGGESTED NEEDLE SIZE
- size 6-(4mm) needles; or size needles to obtain the correct gauge

NOTIONS
- Gauge ruler
-Tapestry needle

GAUGE
- 22 stitches and 30 rows = 4 inches-(10 cm) in stockinette stitch on size 6-(4 mm) needles

The gauge is listed in stockinette stitch because it is easier to measure stitches and rows in stockinette stitch than in more complex stitch patterns. If you can match the gauge in stockinette, you will be able to match the gauge in the specific stitch used in the pattern. This is not always the case and for some pattern stitches it is necessary to work the gauge in the pattern stitch.
