The Alva Scarf is a timeless and versatile accessory, designed to bring warmth, texture and a touch of understated elegance to your everyday wardrobe. With its triangular shape and distinctive striped detailing, Alva is as much a statement piece as it is a practical companion for colder days.

The soft, contrasting stripes and delicate edges create a lovely interplay of colours, while the relaxed drape makes it effortless to style. Wear it loosely around your neck or tucked into your favourite coat for a cosy, sophisticated look.

A beautiful project for knitters who appreciate thoughtful details and classic design, the Alva Scarf is a piece you’ll reach for season after season.

Construction
Alva is worked flat from the top-center down, beginning with a Stockinette stitch tab cast-on. The scarf grows symmetrically using paired increases along the outer edges and central spine. Featuring a blend of solid sections and two-color striping, the shawl is finished with a non-rolling bind-off for a clean, stable edge.
