Red & White Scarf - Pattern & Advice Required

Recommended Posts

I'm wanting a scarf like this, but don't fancy paying £60 for one.

Does anyone have a pattern for one? What's the best type of wool to use? I want it to be nice and soft, not cheap and itchy on my skin.

 

How much wool would I need? (I want it about 5 feet long)

 

I'm not knitting it myself btw, I'm going to get someone to do it for me.

Right. Based on a quick google search for pure cashmere yarn and an estimator tool for yardage required for a rectangle of the size of the Arsenal scarf, the yarn will cost around £350.

 

Obviously cheaper yarn/smaller scarf/any combination of the two will be different.

 

Something like Debbie Bliss Cashmerino (which is lovely) might cost £25 or so for a scarf of that size.

 

My current winter scarf is narrower and shorter than the one you linked to, made of pure wool (which is a bit scratchy but very warm!). The yarn for that was around £15.

 

You don't really need a pattern for a scarf like that, but check this website out anyway
