This scarf was designed to play with the variegated colors and drape of Araucania Caña Ruca, which is made out of sugar cane viscose. The Sugar Cane Scarf incorporates eyelets in a bed of stockinette as well as dropped & twisted stitches. I thought the dropped stitches would add interest and break up any pooling that the yarn might naturally want to do.

Size: 5” wide x 39” long. You can adjust the width as long as you increase or decrease in 12 stitch increments. The length can easily be shortened or lengthened as well.

Gauge: 28 sts/4” in stockinette. The gauge does not need to be exact.

Yarn: 1 skein Araucania Caña Ruca OR 300-350 yards of another sport weight yarn.

I think this pattern could be used beautifully with other yarns - of any weight. Try a hand-dyed yarn or a wool yarn or a cotton yarn or a self-striping yarn!

Needles: US 7/4.5mm - if you are using the Caña Ruca, I would suggest wooden needles as the yarn is very slippery. Some people may find straight needles easier to use due to the dropped stitches.
