Needles: 5.5mm / US 9 knitting needles (circular or straight). Always use a needle/hook size that will result in the correct gauge after blocking.

Notes: Keswick is a lightweight square scarf worked in an intarsia plaid pattern. Mohair yarn is used throughout, tinting the other yarn colours as they overlap horizontally and vertically. Colourwork is created by holding 1, 2 or 3 strands simultaneously.
