In collaboration with Carla of Purple Lamb Fiber Arts, the Handspun Highlight Scarf is designed to highlight special handspun art yarn.

Handspun Highlight Scarf is knit with Carla’s Sparkly Merino Sock Weight in Lilac as the scarf body and her Handspun Mini Worsted Weight in Highland Heather as the contrasting highlight.

It features handspun / art yarn in a curving 1/1 cable on a garter stitch field, bordered by tidy i-cord selvedge edges. This scarf looks great with or without fringe.

For newbies, there is a long version, offering step-by-step instructions on working the handspun cable. You’ll learn how to knit a 1/1 cable, as well as managing your yarn so the back of the work looks nice. For those with more knitting experience, there is a short version and a chart.

This pattern is adjustable to the amount of available handspun and can be modified to be wider or longer without any additional calculations.
