April Scarf

April Scarf is your new striped scarf obsession with a twist! Worked in two halves, this triangle features striking vertical stripes on one side and classic horizontal ones on the other. Every edge is finished with a sophisticated, rounded double-knitted border and a smooth bind-off. April Scarf is knitted in the softest yarn imaginable, Aara Yarn Hellu, a blend of baby alpaca, cashmere, and silk that is an absolute treat against the skin. **MATERIALS** ***Yarn:*** 2 skeins of Hellu by Aara Yarn. Approx. 730 yds (665 m) of lace-weight yarn held double: 400 yds (365 m) in C1 and 330 yds (300 m) in C2. Sample shown in colourways Taival (C1, blue) and Milo (C2, pink). *Note: each colour is held double throughout the scarf, even for the edging. You can also use a single strand of fingering weight yarn.* ***Needles:*** US 3 (3.25 mm) circular needles, 40” (100 cm) long or longer. For the edge it is useful to have a longer circular needle if you have one. **SIZING** **One Size** ***Finished Measurements:*** 59” (150 cm) wingspan and 19” (48 cm) deep at centre spine. **GAUGE** 22 sts and 28 rows = 4” (10 cm) in Stockinette stitch, after blocking.
