Scarf No. 5 by My Favourite Things Knitwear is a simple, elegant accessory that lets beautiful yarn take center stage. Knit from the top down in smooth stockinette stitch, it’s a relaxing project with clean lines and a modern look.
Loop staffer Lisa knit hers using Cardiff Cashmere Classic in Piombo for the main color and Indigo for the contrast color. The stripe adds just enough interest while keeping the overall look refined and versatile.
Cashmere Classic is spun in Italy from some of the longest and finest natural cashmere fibers available. The result is exceptional softness combined with surprising strength and durability. The yarn feels buttery against the skin and blooms beautifully after blocking, creating a fabric that’s lightweight yet wonderfully warm.
The pattern offers three sizes, so you can choose the style that suits you best (measurements are given as width × height):
- Bandana: 26.5 × 9 inches (67 × 23 cm)
- Scarf: 34.25 × 13.75 inches (87 × 35 cm)
- Shawl: 46.5 × 18 inches (118 × 46 cm)
Lisa knit the scarf size, which is perfect for wrapping once around your neck or tying loosely in front.
