Rapson
Rapson is a relatively simple knit, and it’s all about straight lines: blocks of color and columns of garter and stockinette stitch, with five accent colors on a neutral background. The scarf’s generous width makes it easy to bundle up, and Lore’s DK-weight 100% Kent lambswool keeps you warm without extra bulk (those Brits know how to ward off a chill).
Rapson is named for Minnesota architect Ralph Rapson, Dean of the School of Architecture at the University of Minnesota for many years. His Modernist, Bauhaus style married art and craft: perfect for a cozy scarf with simple geometry.
Lore by The Fibre Co. is a knitter’s dream. 100% Kent lambswool, it’s soft, warm, with just a bit of stick, perfect when you’re joining two colors in the same row. It blocks like a dream, with plenty of bloom. The other great thing about Lore: it’s available in both 100-g hanks and 25-g balls, so you’re not wasting yarn.
Kits are available—in several colorways—at The Yarnery (yarnery.com).
If you knit this scarf in an alternate yarn, choose a hearty DK-weight, not too smooth (avoid superwash).
