Color Play Mohair Scarf & Wrap Pattern
“Compulsively knit-able!”
Made with a double strand of a favorite lace-weight mohair and silk blend, you'll have fun playing with color, mixing with ombré shading, or crossing the color wheel for graphic punch. For the scarf, we mixed four solid colors — two at a time — to create shaded color blocking. For the wrap, we played with four softly self-striping colorways — sometimes with themselves, sometimes with each other — so no two pieces will ever be alike. You'll just have to make another one.
FINISHED SIZE
Scarf: 12" / 30cm wide x approx. 57" / 145cm long, after blocking.

NEEDLES
US 7 (4.5mm) needles, or size to obtain gauge.

With their featherweight warmth and glowing colors, we think Rowan Kidsilk Haze and Kidsilk Haze Stripe are perfect yarns for this project, an easy-to-knit, easy-to-wear piece that's bang on trend.
Notice that color blocks, or sections, are not equal in size. This is by design, so that the finished piece can be worn with colors falling where they may. Embrace the fact that each time you make this project, you will end up with a unique scarf or wrap!
