A good scarf should have neither a right side nor a wrong side. Both sides should be equally beautiful.
In this scarf we play with short rows used on both the right side and the wrong side, but only to distinguish between the stockinette stitches and the reverse stockinette stitches in the short rows shaping. In addition, this scarf is the perfect project for your leftover yarns. Silk Mohair or Alpaca could be the main yarn to ensure a uniform color distribution throughout the scarf. The other colors can be played with in the different wedge-shaped segments. This scarf is slightly fluffier and somewhat looser when using Alpaca 1 rather than Alpaca 2.

SIZES

MATERIALS
150 g Isager Alpaca 1 or 200 g Alpaca 2
5 x 25 g Silk Mohair

RECOMMENDED COLORWAYS
Autumn: Alpaca, Color 1 – Silk Mohair, Colors 28, 33, 60, 68, 69
Winter: Alpaca, Color 0 – Silk Mohair, Colors 0, 2s, 3s, 12, 60

One strand of Alpaca 1 or 2 plus one strand of Silk Mohair are held together throughout the scarf. The color of Silk Mohair changes every time a new wedge-shaped segment begins.
A practical tip: When you work the final 5 to 6 stitches of the Silk Mohair color, you don’t need to sew in the ends, just cut them.
