My brother and I went to Alma Park for one reason only – to play on the suspension bridge, which waves up and down like this scarf. The colours remind me of Alma Park in autumn – the deep clear blue skies, the autumn leaves and the deep green pines around the park.

This is a short scarf, better worn wrapped tightly round your neck than hanging loose. It uses simple increases and decreases to form the wave pattern, which is emphasized by using a different colour for each pattern repeat. Worked mostly in stocking stitch, it will curl if left to its own devices, so you need to wet-block it; and store it folded.

The instructions specify casting on with straight needles then switching to circular needles. I did this because I find it easier to cast on with straight needles; but easier to work a long piece using the circular needle. It’s up to you – do what you feel comfortable with.

Finished size is 100 cm x 15cm.
