This is a small neck scarf. The mesh pattern is easy and makes a very elastic fabric. Free pattern for www.ullarvikan.is - South Iceland Woolweek.

French version translated by Helene Magnusson, MERCI!!!

The shape is an asymmetrical diamond shape, created by first the increases on one side - and the decreases on the other side. The finishing touch is a crocheted picot edge.
The scarf is very elastic and is designed to fit around your neck once - but in case you want a warmer cover you can pull it around twice and just make a little knot.

In summer 2024 we elected a new president for Iceland. With a participation of over 80% of all voters it was very much a national event. Amongst the 6 strongest candidates was Halla, sporting a neat silk neck scarf for her first appearance at a television debate. This became a much talked about fashion statement - although it emerged that she was wearing it because of an oncoming cold that day. She and her supporters started wearing neck scarfs and made it their “trade mark” during the campaign weeks running up to the elections. The media talked about a neck-scarf revolution. And Halla went on to win the elections.
We decided to create a woollen version!
Congratulations Halla!
