The Aurelis Scarf is a beautifully textured triangular scarf featuring a rhythmic stitch pattern that creates subtle vertical lines and recessed shapes across the fabric. Despite its rich appearance, the pattern is easy to memorise and flows intuitively once established.

The scarf is shaped with alternating increases and decreases along the edges, with a neat I-cord running along both sides and finishing the two ends. A step-by-step video tutorial is available to guide you through the construction and stitch pattern.

CONSTRUCTION:
The scarf is worked flat, beginning with a 6-stitch I-cord. Alternating increases along the edges create a tapered triangular shape, with the I-cord worked continuously along both sides. Once the scarf reaches its full width, the textured pattern is worked straight until the decrease section begins. The opposite end mirrors the increase section, with alternating decreases shaping the scarf back down to 6 stitches. The scarf is finished with an I-cord, matching the beginning.

SIZING AND MEASUREMENTS:
The pattern is written for one size only, but is easily adjustable.
The sample measures 18 cm / 7.25 in. at the widest point and 140 cm / 56 in. in length.
Each of the triangular-shaped increase and decrease section measures approx. 40 cm / 16 in., and the straight portion measures approx. 60 cm / 24 in.

GAUGE:
20 stitches and 32 rows = 10 cm x 10 cm / 4 in. x 4. in textured stitch pattern worked flat, after blocking.
Because the stitch pattern includes elongated stitches, row gauge does not correspond to an exact number of full pattern repeats and is measured over several repeats and averaged.

YARN:
For my samples I used the following yarns:
Rust-coloured sample: Gepard Pura Lana (50% alpaca, 50% merino wool, 50 g = 115 m / 126 yd) in the 240-Brandy shade.
Sea green sample: Drops Merino Extra Fine (100% superwash extra fine merino, 50 g = 105 m / 115 yd), in the 15-Light Sea Green shade.

The scarf measurements given above can be worked with the following yardage requirements: 280 m / 305 yd. If using either of the recommended yarns, 3 balls are required to make a scarf.

NEEDLES AND NOTIONS:

• 4.5 mm / US 7 needles of your preferred needle type
• Tapestry needle
