The Nellie Scarf

December 06, 2006 1 min read

Here's the pattern for the lovely scarves designed by our own Nellie.

Worked with a single strand each of Ultra Alpaca and laceweight kid mohair and silk they are amazingly soft to the touch. The subtle variations in color between the two yarns and within the variegated mohair silk make them absolutely luminous. The green is a variation on a moss stitch, which is very fitting for the color, I think. The brown scarf is a 1x1 mistake rib.
