Uddybende information
Little Lumber Scarf by The Knit Is On is a soft and characterful scarf worked in a classic gingham pattern using the double knitting technique. The design plays with texture and color by combining two yarn colors held together to create three distinct color combinations, resulting in a beautiful checked pattern that looks identical on both sides.
The scarf is knitted in double knitting, meaning that two layers of fabric are worked at the same time, creating a reversible scarf with no visible wrong side. Each square in the gingham pattern is formed by alternating between three color combinations: two strands of color A, two strands of color B, and one strand of each color held together. This clever construction creates depth and variation while keeping the design clean and balanced.
Little Lumber Scarf is worked with two strands of Midnatssol by CaMaRose held together. Midnatssol is a luxurious blend of baby alpaca, merino, and lyocell, offering both warmth and softness with a lightweight feel. The yarn has an interesting structure, as darker shades contain a black inner thread while lighter shades have a white inner thread. This means that the fabric density may vary slightly depending on the chosen colors, adding subtle texture to the finished scarf.
The scarf is finished with decorative i-cord fringes at both ends, giving it a refined yet playful look. These fringes are worked directly from the live stitches, creating a seamless and well-integrated finish.
Little Lumber Scarf is designed in one size and is intentionally short, meant to be tied with a single knot. The length and width can easily be adjusted by adding more pattern repeats or stitch pairs, making it a flexible project that can be customized to personal preference.
This scarf is an engaging project for knitters who enjoy colorwork and want to explore double knitting techniques. The result is a stylish, warm, and versatile accessory that works beautifully as both an everyday scarf and a thoughtful handmade gift.
