Inside a hot cup of tea awaits with cookies and candles, outside this cozy scarf in the Scandinavian Style keeps you cozy and warm. Sounds snug!

With the number of stitches indicated in this pattern, the scarf will turn out to be approx. 63 in / 160 cm long and 8 in / 20 cm wide.
However, these measurements are just an example – you’ll see that the pattern can easily be adjusted to any size you want.

• Ca. 500 g of any type of yarn – e.g. Sublime Baby Cashmere Merino Silk (4 ply) (170m / 50g)
• Crochet hook in matching size, e.g. 4.5 mm

Gauge:
For this pattern there is no predetermined gauge you need to follow. The stitch pattern can be adjusted to any length and width of the scarf and almost any yarn weight.
The most important thing is that you find a yarn you really love  As an orientation: the heavier the yarn, the thicker and warmer your scarf will be. However, if you use a lighter yarn, your scarf will turn out more delicate and light.
