Patina

A small triangular scarf with a reversible wavy rib texture and an optional pull-through detail. Knit with a strand of fine merino held together with variegated mohair for a soft watercolor effect that plays against the crisp geometry of the rib patterns. The scarf is worked holding a strand of fingering weight merino and a variegated silk mohair together, from point to point, increasing and decreasing along the right-hand side. A simple rib stitch is offset to create the wavy texture on the RS and a woven basketweave-like texture on WS. This makes the scarf fully reversible, with neat edges created by selvedge stitches. Two slit openings create a pull-through detail, for a decorative fastening option - the stitches are divided into 3 sections, each worked separately in pattern, then joined again to finish the decrease section. Instructions for a version without the openings are also provided. **Materials:** 1 skein each Urth 16 Fingering and Urth Bonmoher, held together **Dimensions:** 9.5” / 24 cm width, 33” / 84 cm length **Needles:** US 6 / 4.00 mm, straight or circular in any length, or size needed to obtain gauge **Notions:** Tapestry needle, 2 stitch markers, stitch holders **Gauge:** 29 sts x 33 rows, blocked = 4”/ 10 cm in Wavy rib stitch, measured on the wrong side **Skill level:** Easy **Techniques:** Knit and purl, slipped stitches, twisted stitches, increases and decreases
