Description:
The Isla Scarf is a knitted scarf featuring decorative weaving and fringes at both ends. The scarf has I-cord edges and is worked in garter stitch with a striped pattern. Afterwards, strands are woven lengthwise to create a checked pattern. The carried yarn is hidden inside the I-cord edges.

Sizes: [1, 2, 3]
Size 1: approx. 14 × 200 cm (5½ × 78¾ in)
Size 2: approx. 18 × 200 cm (7 × 78¾ in)
Size 3: approx. 24 × 170 cm (9½ × 67 in)

The red scarf is size 1, the green is size 2 and the blue is size 3.

Gauge:
10×10cm (4×4in) = 18 stitches × 48 rows in garter stitch using 3.5mm (US4) needles with woven strands on both sides, measured after washing.

Needles:
3,5mm (US4) (primary) and 4mm (US6).
The scarf is worked flat, so you can use either straight or circular needles.

Color B: [1, 1, 1] ball

If you choose an alternative yarn, I recommend selecting one with little to no elasticity and a smooth surface, such as 100% alpaca or an alpaca-silk blend, with a tension of approximately 10cm (4in) = 26–27 stitches in stockinette stitch using 3mm needles. I recommend working with a single strand
