Wrap yourself up this autumn in the sumptuously soft cable textures of my Barchan scarf pattern. The design is inspired by the unique formation of Barchan sand dunes, which are known for their constant movement.

The meandering cable pattern features five sections of my Dune Collection’s signature Sand Cables. These cables gradually increase in size across the scarf, creating a dynamic sense of drift and movement, resulting in a truly eye-catching design.“

Barchan is a large and luxurious DK scarf, offering a delightful knitting experience with easy-to-follow instructions suitable for knitters of all levels. It offers a satisfying challenge for adventurous beginners, while providing enough detail to keep seasoned knitters thoroughly entertained.

Beyond its enjoyable knit, Barchan is a remarkably versatile scarf, effortlessly complementing a variety of outfits. For a casual look, pair it with jeans and a sweater. For a more formal occasion, it adds a touch of sophistication. Elevate the look further with a brooch for a statement piece. Whether shopping, lunching, or attending a special event, Barchan is your perfect companion for warmth and style during autumn and winter.

But whether you knit Barchan for yourself or for someone else, I hope you find the same joy in knitting this pattern as I do.

Happy Knitting!
