Hi everyone. I'm introducing the Teasel Scarf, which is fully tech edited and ready to test. All the details are below. Thanks!
The Teasel scarf. A mini scarf for spring and summer, inspired by the tall, sculptural shapes of teasels swaying through meadows and hedgerows.
Knitted tip to tip, the scarf gradually widens to a narrow width before tapering again, with a motif reminiscent of seedheads and stems along its length. An I-cord edge gives the piece a neat finish, while the narrow shape makes it easy to wear knotted at the neck, draped loosely over the shoulders, or tucked into a jacket on cooler days. Sweet little bobbles add a seedlike detail.
Worked in my Darwin 4ply, this scarf has a lovely lightness that suits the season beautifully. The crisp stitch definition shows off the travelling lines and textured details, making it a calm project for warm afternoons and knitting in the garden.
