Scultura

Scultura is a highly textured and reversible parallelogram-shaped scarf worked in a slip stitch pattern with an I-Cord edging. Scultura means sculpture in Italian and the pattern resembles a geometric bas relief texture. It has a few delicate one-row marl stripes at each end in a contrasting color that add some subtle visual interest. Scultura is worked in Floating yarn from A Verb for Keeping Warm in Oakland, California. It was designed to celebrate A Verb for Keeping Warm's new colorway, Ripple Effect, for the 2025 Bay Area Yarn Crawl. Kits can be ordered [here][1]. There are two sizes, small and large. Small is 7 x 59 in and large is 10 x 83 in (18.5 x 151 cm and 25 x 211 cm). The smaller size is shown in the photos and uses one skein of Floating plus a mini-skein for the marl stripes. The larger size requires two skeins of Floating. Floating is a soft and shiny yarn in a silk, alpaca, and cashmere blend. It has amazing drape, which, along with the biased fabric, balances the heft added by the slip-stitches. Scultura is worked with a provisional cast on, an I-Cord selvedge, and an I-Cord bind off. The provisional cast on is then removed and another I-Cord bind off is worked at the starting edge. This gives a finished I-Cord edge all around the scarf. The pattern includes written instructions and also has links to recommended videos on the techniques.
