MATERIALS
6 (10) balls of Purl Soho’s Speckled Hen, 80% baby alpaca and 20% fine merino wool. Each ball is approximately 120 yards/ 50 grams.

  • Main Color (MC): 5 (8) balls; approximately 585 (960) yards required
  • Contrast Color (CC): 1 (2) ball(s); approximately 120 (190) yards required

You will also need…

  • US 5 (3.75 mm), 12- or 16-inch circular needles, depending on size you are making (or long circulars for Magic Loop)
  • A stitch marker or scrap yarn

We knit our samples in the following sizes and colors…

  • Small: MC Heirloom White + CC Quail Feather
  • Small: MC Daffodil Yellow + CC Fisherman Yellow
  • Large: MC Lilac Daybreak + CC Wisteria Vine

NOTE: Each Speckled Hen color has a partner. The duo have the same color roving at their core, but one is wrapped in ecru threads and the other is wrapped in very dark brown threads. If, like us, you want to make your Sleeve Scarf with two colors that share the same core color, here are the remainder of the pairings: Laurel Blossom + Pink Bluff, Cameo Pink + Rose Peat, Farmhouse Red + Red Raisin, Fennel Green + Field Mint, Dew Blue + Rainstorm Blue, and Whitecaps Blue + Estuary Blue.

GAUGE
24 stitches and 32 rounds = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

36 stitches and 32 rounds = 4 inches in 2 x 2 rib, unstretched

NOTE: We used almost the entirety of the Contrast Color for our Small scarves. To avoid running short, double check your gauge, swatch with the Main Color, and be conservative with tails!

SIZES
Small (Large)

Finished Dimensions: Approximately 12 (16) inches circumference x 60 (76) inches long
