This is a simple little scarfette that makes the perfect quick knit gift. It can easily be knit in a day! You can wear it plain or dress it up with a brooch, your favourite badge or big button. Dressy or casual enough for any occasion and small enough to be tucked away in a handbag.

Designed to compliment the wonderfully popular Fetching Mitts, this little scarf was originally conceived as part of a matching gift set for my wonderful midwife, Paula. A skein of Malabrigo Merino Worsted is just enough to create the mitts and the matching scarfette.

Construction:
Paula’s Scarfette is knit from end to end. After knitting straight, the scarf is split and each side is knit separately to create the keyhole. The scarf is rejoined and knit to the end.

Sizing:
One size.
When knit to tension, scarfette measures 26 x 3½ inches/66 x 9 cms.
