Linen stitch has a way of harmonizing even the most disparate colors. Our friend Mimi Hepler first created this scarf to use up all her precious Koigu leftovers—18 different colorways! So for our scarf we chose three skeins of Koigu that combined as many different colors as possible.
But it’s equally beautiful in subtle shades. In fact, we haven’t seen a bad combination yet! That’s the magic of linen stitch. Heck, it’s even beautiful on the ‘wrong’ side.

We’re always looking for new ways to make our favorite Churchmouse patterns, and play with our favorite yarns and colors. We’ve put together a free addendum to this pattern that uses Blue Sky Alpacas Alpaca Silk for a scarf that boasts both yummy drape and sleekness to wear all year ‘round (shown in third picture).
