ABOUT THE PATTERN: This is the perfect project if you are a beginner and want to expand your knitting skills.

The basketweave pattern is satisfying to see grow while you learn:

  • confidence switching back & forth from knitting to purling
  • to recognize then trust in the previous row’s stitches
  • consistency in your tension no matter your mood

Experienced knitters also appreciate this project because of the high quality of the yarn and the easy-to-memorize pattern. I call it a “keep in the car” project for when you’re on-the-go.

ABOUT THIS GARMENT: This scarf is a classic designed to be a foundational piece in your wardrobe. It can be worn all four seasons and is wide enough to also be used as a shawl (think evenings on the beach). The yarn is decadent yet sturdy and has a lovely feeling next to your skin.
