An Italian Summer Scarf

An Italian Summer Scarf is a little scarf with a classic look, very easy to adjust in length, yarn weight or fiber content. The pattern is straightforward, simple to memorize and quite addicting. What’s not to love?

Yarn 100 g of Sandnes Garn Line (110 meters (120 yards) / 50 g)

Measurements Length from tip to tip: ~145 cm (~57 inch) Width at center: ~25 cm (~10 inch)

Needles 4 mm (US 6) circular needles, at least 60 cm (24 inch) long

Gauge 20 sts and 35 rows in 10 cm (4 inch) in garter stitch

Notes

The scarf is worked flat, back and forth, from one tip to the other, and it’s all garter stitch with built-in i-cord edges and beautiful eyelets throughout.

You’ll be using half of your yarn for the first half of the scarf (increasing from the tip to the midway point) and the remaining half of your yarn for the second half of the scarf (decreasing from the mid-way point to the other tip). This will avoid leftovers and ensure your scarf is as big as possible!

You can easily adjust the length, based on the amount of yarn you have (just split it in half before you start knitting).

In addition to the written instructions, you can also refer to the charts you’ll find on the last two pages.
