Alumni Scarf
Notes:
Not your typical rib pattern, this scarf combines two Knit/Purl
combinations to create an instant classic for men or women. The
Knit/Purl combinations are easy to learn, and the rhythm will have
this piece knitted up in no time. The weight of the scarf and the
slight stretch of the alpaca as the scarf increases will contribute a
little to the end length.

Finishing About the Designer


Weave in ends; block scarf ends if needed. Blocking is not Raised in the south and transplanted
necessary for scarf body, but can be done if desired. to the Midwest after graduating from
Georgia Tech (Go Jackets!), Kathy has
found the long Midwest winters the
perfect time to curl up with yarn and
needles. She began knitting as an adult
after checking the item off a New Year’s
resolution list and fell in love with the art
form, the techniques, and how yarn can
be transformed from skein to fabric. When not playing in her yarn
stash, she can be found cheering on her three children in their
pursuits, photographing loved ones, or hunting for bargains.
