Our Striped Chevron Scarf is a wonderfully summery accessory—whether the weather is cloudy or cloudless! Two row stripes zig-zag off your needles in an easy-to-memorize chevron pattern paired with alternating color blocks. They remind us of vintage café awnings, beach umbrellas, and comfy hammocks swinging in the sun (all perfectly acceptable knitting spots).

We’ve knit this piece in a new cotton-blend—Berroco Modern Cotton DK. Differing from its big sister, Modern Cotton, only in weight, this cool fiber is a warm weather essential. The balance of Pima cotton and Modal rayon means it’s hard-wearing and machine-washable. A palette of sophisticated neutrals and cheerful brights play together perfectly side-by-side in the waving stripes of this sunny scarf.
