Antler Peak Scarf
Antler Peak Scarf
Antler Peak is a versatile, textured scarf that’s sure to become a wardrobe staple for spring and summer outfits (and beyond into fall and winter too). Wear this long, narrow scarf wrapped around your neck in any number of ways or simply drape it over your shoulders as a shawlette.
The Antler stitch pattern looks impressive but it’s quite easy and fast to do. There’s even a video tutorial for it. The stitch pattern is both charted and written…yes, every single row of the chart is written out and included at the end of the pattern!
The construction is interesting as it starts with three stitches and is worked top-down with a couple of easy short row sections that give it its versatile shape.
This shawl looks best in yarns with little color variation although it would look great with a darker or contrasting color for the section with the Antler Stitch pattern.
The pattern is written for fingering or sport weight yarn but will look great in DK weight too. Size and yarn usage will vary with differences in yarn and gauge.
See The Fibre Co Yarn Kits and their discount offer.
The instructions are both written and charted and the pattern has been professionally tech edited and tested.
