“Kiri is ideal for getting to grips with the basics of lace and cabling and you get lots of practice as the pattern is repeated along the length of the scarf”
Let’s Knit Deputy Editor Adrienne Chandler

“Kiri - Whip up Sarah Hazell’s chunky cabled scarf in
a weekend and say goodbye to Autumn chills!
You can never have too many scarves and this warm, chunky number is perfect protection against the cold. Accessories are great for this time of year as they keep you snug but can still be worn with a lighter jacket. Our Kiri scarf is knitted in a sumptuously soft wool and mohair blend and features a lacy cabled motif.”

Alternative Yarn
For an even more textured finish, try knit- ting this scarf in a tweed yarn. Debbie Bliss Luxury Tweed Chunky is a gorgeous wool yarn featuring 10% angora for added softness. There are 22 shades available, why not opt for a bright pink or orange as an alternative to the given colourway? Please note, you may need to try different needle sizes to achieve a similar tension.
