The El Gusano (caterpillar) scarf is a single skein, sport weight, transitional knit. Designed specifically for the 2017 San Diego Yarn Crawl, in collaboration with the Yarnover Truck and Forbidden Woolery. I took inspiration for this scarf from the variety of California caterpillars that grace this gorgeous state. The scarf is knit lengthwise, with a zig zag eyelet lace border and edge that creates the caterpillar like shape. A fun knit to take summer with you as you head into cooler weather.

Dimensions (AFTER BLOCKING): 57 inch length (including fringe), 8 inch width.
Needles: US size 6.
Notions: Tapestry needle, crochet hook
Gauge: 36 stitches by 36 rows is 4 inches in garter stitch on US size 6s.
