The Poppy Scarf’s meant to feel like a looong bouquet of springtime wildflowers that won’t wilt even in the cold winter months. It’s knit in the round using stranded colorwork, which makes it extra cozy-thick and also double sided!

GAUGE: 20 stitches & 22 rows in 4” of stockinette colorwork

NEEDLES: US 7 (4.5 mm) DPNs or circular needles with a a 22”+ cable to work with magic loop.

RECOMMENDED YARN: a worsted-weight wool or acrylic yarn. I used Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Worsted, but it can be a little scratchy if you have sensitive skin! I’d substitute with Cascade 220 Worsted, Knit Picks Swish Worsted, or another worsted yarn you like. You can always check out yarnsub.com for more suggestions!
