Cumberland Avenue is a warm little triangle, which will keep you toasty as we fade into fall. The simple color work is easy to memorize and worked in a repeat of four, which makes it a good option for those who want to dip their toe into stranded knitting.

Braided cords keep the scarf firmly around your neck, and the fringe adds length and warmth. The pattern is highly modifiable, and can be made into a full shawl, or worked in a different yarn weight and gauge. Experiment, and have fun.

Pattern requires approximately 328 yards of worsted weight main color yarn, and 164 yards of worsted weight contrast color yarn. This sample was worked in Purl Soho’s Worsted Twist, using 2 skeins of #3000 Pale Stone as the MC, and 1 skein of #3030 Otter Brown as CC.
