I finished this scarf a few weeks ago but had to keep it a secret as it was a present. It’s handpun, by me!, from Finnish humbug.
Being so pleased with how it turned out I knew I definitely wanted to make something with it. The pattern is a free pattern from Ravelry, the Aslaug Scarf by Camille Coizy. My yarn turned out more like arran than double knit so the finished scarf is a heavier version which I knitted on 5mm needles. If I’d remembered I would have measured it but I forgot 🙁 Here it is being blocked.
Knitting not being my best skill I did struggle a little until I’d got a couple of pattern repeats under my belt and I understood it a little better.
It looks lovely with my sheep shawl pin from Harry.
And it looks equally at home worn as a scarf rather than a wrap.

The best bit? my friend really loves it 🙂 and I feel inspired to do more knitting.
And why would she not love it? It’s absolutely gorgeous!
The scarf really is lovely Angela. You’ve inspired me to get back to my knitting, I’ve just got to find the time!
I look forward to reading your blog and what you’ve been making even if I don’t always respond. I must get back to my felting as well!
