Modelled above by my son, this is another present for a friend. The pattern is easy, yet interesting and engaging with its pure geometric lines and it is totally reversible. For me this is one of the best men's scarf patterns out there.
Pattern: Asherton Reversible Scarf
Yarn: Zegna Baruffa, Spring 1, 100% merino, Italian bobbin yarn, 200 g
Needle: 4 mm
Time to knit: 4 evenings
The yarn is very thin - 800 m / 100 g, so I knit it in four threads held together. The color is gray melange, with subtle purple, yellowish, blue and red nuances mixed with the lighter and darker gray and it's a chameleon - dependent on the direction of the light it might look lighter or darker.
The size I chose is 20 cm wide and 160 cm long - I think an average size for a man's scarf. For this size I did three repeats of the pattern in width and ten and a half (the half is for symmetry) repeats of the pattern in length.
This merino is very soft and pleasant to the skin, I hope the new owner would appreciate it. I had ordered 300 g of this yarn, so now I'm knitting a hat to make it a set.
Wow! I love the graphic illusion effect this stitch created! Perfect scarf for a man, which is not always easy to find!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Alina! It's true, it's so difficult to find a good pattern for men's knitwear and accessories.
DeleteOMGosh, what a stately and handsome young man here. Love how you styled his scarf. The scarf is awesome like art of M.C. Escher.
ReplyDeleteAnd it was great to hear from you just now; mahalo for your sweet comment about my Frankie. I love them so and am so glad I had treated myself to Halloween yarn.
Thank you, Alex did grow a lot these last couple of years. I too love the 3D effect of this scarf pattern and you are right - it does remind of Escher's impossible 3D paintings.

ReplyDeleteHello! I was wondering if you could tell me how many rows of garter stitch you did at the beginning and the end? According to your post on Ravelry, you did 3 stitches on each side, but I wasn't sure about the ends. Any help you can provide would be appreciated!
