TRANSITIONAL KNITS: HARLEQUIN
I love the anticipation of Autumn! It’s a fleeting and changeable season, warm but with notes of apples, spice and an abundant harvest. In the autumn, we need transitional knits that go from sunny afternoons to cooler evenings and accessories that bring a little dab of extra warmth. Create a scarf for autumn this season with the Harlequin pattern. Through Friday, September 23, take 30% off the Harlequin pattern in my Ravelry shop, no code required.
Autumn Scarf Details
Jumbo diamonds etched in double moss stitch emboss the surface of this over sized autumn scarf. At 14” wide and 64” long, the Harlequin Scarf allows for several thick wraps around the neck while still leaving lots of gorgeous fabric and fringe for trailing ends. The reversible diamond pattern, good-looking from both sides, is echoed in double knotted fringe. It’s so much fun to create an autumn scarf with lots of squishy texture!
The “Back Story”
When you’re ready to create a scarf for autumn, consider the flip side. Looking at the back side of a scarf when it is worn has always bothered me a little, especially if the item is especially wide and long. This autumn scarf is truly reversible and looks great from both sides. Harlequin is a generous autumn scarf that is super quick to knit. And because it is worked entirely of knit and purl stitches, knitters of all levels can create this simple scarf for autumn.
Trim a Scarf for Autumn
One of the of the best things about this autumn scarf is its deep, double-knotted fringe. Classic knotted trim adds instant polish to scarves, blankets, throws and shawls. The Harlequin pattern contains detailed instructions for how to work this clever edge.
Choose a Gorgeous Shade
Harlequin is a collaboration with my talented friends at Sweet Georgia Yarns. I cannot overstate the high levels of art and science that go into every shade of these gorgeous yarns. The superwash worsted used for Harlequin comes in a huge range of sophisticated shades like “Cayenne”. It is a soft, round, plump yarn perfect for wearing next to your skin when you’re ready to knit your first scarf this autumn.
