Alva Scarf

The Alva Scarf is a timeless and versatile accessory, designed to bring warmth, texture and a touch of understated elegance to your everyday wardrobe. With its triangular shape and distinctive striped detailing, Alva is as much a statement piece as it is a practical companion for colder days. The soft, contrasting stripes and delicate edges create a lovely interplay of colours, while the relaxed drape makes it effortless to style. Wear it loosely around your neck or tucked into your favourite coat for a cosy, sophisticated look. A beautiful project for knitters who appreciate thoughtful details and classic design, the Alva Scarf is a piece you'll reach for season after season. **Construction** Alva is worked flat from the top-center down, beginning with a Stockinette stitch tab cast-on. The scarf grows symmetrically using paired increases along the outer edges and central spine. Featuring a blend of solid sections and two-color striping, the shawl is finished with a non-rolling bind-off for a clean, stable edge. **Size** One size **Wingspan:** 129 cm / 50.75” **Height at highest point:** 31 cm / 12” **Gauge** 23 sts x 32 rows = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4” in Stockinette St after blocking using 3.5 mm (US 4) needles. **Needles** 3.5 mm (US 4) circular needles with a long cable. **Yarn** C1: 40 g Lamana Como (100 % superfine merino - 120 m / 131 yds / 25 g) or 200 m / 220 yds of Light DK weight yarn.
