Helgesen

**20% off with code NEWRELEASE through January 11th 2025.** Helgesen scarf is knit in garter-stitch lengthwise. One end is pointed, and the other end is slanted. The ends are shaped by German Short Rows and decreases. *If you are unsure about how to do German Short Rows, you may want to watch a video tutorial on YouTube before you cast on.* **Sizes:** One size **Measurements after blocking:** Length: Circa 135 cm / 53 inches (may stretch with use) Width: Circa 11 cm /4.3 inches *Tip! If you have extra yarn and want a longer scarf you may cast on additional stitches when you start and follow the pattern as written.* **Gauge after blocking:** Circa 18 sts on 10 cm / 4 inches garter-stitch. **Suggested needle size:** 3.5 mm (US 4) long circular needle – at least 80 cm. **Yarn:** Lang Cashmere Premium 6-Fädig (115 m on 25 g) **Yarn quantity:** Color 1 (gray): 25 g Color 2 (navy blue): 25 g **Yarn alternatives:** You can use the yarn you want with the appropriate needle size. For example: Lang Cashmere Light on needle 4 mm (US 6). As the scarf will be worn on your neck you should choose a yarn that feels soft on that sensitive part of your body. I suggest cashmere, wool and silk blends, merino, alpaca or yak. Hold the skein next to your neck to check if you have any reaction before you cast on. *Remember that changing the gauge will change the size of the scarf.*
