Elegant, reversible scarf in fingering-weight yarn
The Scouts Grace Scarf by Dorte Bak Knitting is a graceful and reversible design that combines texture and classic garter stitch in a simple, timeless form.
It can be styled with a brooch or knot, wrapped twice around the neck, or worn as a lightweight hair or neck scarf on breezy days. The design is worked in two sizes, approximately 80 (110) cm in length and 17 (25) cm in width after washing and blocking, with the smaller size being narrower and slightly shorter.
The scarf is knitted on 3.5 mm needles in a five-row repeat pattern, giving a balanced look on both sides. The recommended gauge is 28 stitches and 32 rows in garter stitch after blocking. This makes it ideal for soft, light fingering-weight yarns that showcase texture beautifully and create a smooth drape.
