Join the 2023 Holiday KAL in the Bumblebee Acres Farm Group!

Named for the beautiful winter destination in Austria, this squishy, garter, chevron stitch pattern is a delight to knit and is the perfect holiday project. Designed to work with a 25 10g/40yd mini skein advent calendar and 1 full contrast skein, it can also be worked in scraps, gradients, full skeins, and more. The pattern also includes a Wrap option if you wish to use 20g/80yd minis. You can also work half of your 20g minis and use the other half in any of our other advent/mini patterns, or a Cottagecore Throw! I am all about making the most of my yarn!

The pattern is a 1 row repeat - yes, you read that right!- and features nearly invisible increases and decreases, allowing your colors to be the highlight of this pattern. The stripes of your contrast color pulls the whole project together, giving it an elegant and intentional appearance. It is also reversible! The easy-to-memorize design allows you to knit through the holidays with little stress, and will give you a wonderfully cozy scarf/wrap by Christmas!
Happy Knitting, and if you are knitting the Innsbruck Scarf for advent, Happy Holidays!

Notes on Color
This shawl is designed to show off 25 different colored mini skeins, but you can knit it using other options, too!
How to choose colors

• Main Color(MC) : 1000(2000) yds of a main color, be it 25 minis (one color per section), a gradient skein, scraps, a colorway you have on hand. Each MC section uses about 30-40 yds for the scarf version or 60-80 yds for the Wrap version
• Contrast Color (CC): 1 full skein in a tonal or light speckle. You use about 8(16) yds in each CC Section

Notes on Construction

• You can knit Innsbruck Scarf in thicker yarn weights for an extra chunk knit!
• Feeling extra fancy? Hold a strand of brushed mohair or brushed alpaca with your yarn to create a decadent, fuzzy project!
• You may not want to block your scarf, as leaving it unblocked will leave your garter stitch extra plump and cozy!
