Pattern Overview
The Crystalline Air Scarf features a simple Irish Moss stitch pattern that is only a 4-row repeat.
The scarf is knit with two strands of yarn held together – DK-weight merino wool and lace-weight mohair. Adding a strand of mohair creates a soft halo and makes the scarf cozier and warmer.
This triangular scarf is knit from end to end. It begins at the narrowest point, and the stitches are increased along one edge until you reach the halfway point, then you decrease the stitches along the same edge to the other tip.
The first and last 3 stitches form an i-cord edging, which makes the edges look neat and prevents them from curling.
This scarf is a great match for the Crystalline Air Headband.
