Two-Tone Twill Scarf Using Isager Alpaca 2
The Design
Our love affair with linen stitch continues—this time using two colors of fingering-weight Isager Alpaca 2 for a soft fabric that mimics the breezy sigh of a fine woven scarf.
Choose high-contrast colors for crisp zigs and zags, or two closer colors for tonal shading. We’ve added a tiny edging and pressed the fabric for a supple finish.
We’ve put together our favorite two-color combinations below that make one scarf. If you’d like to select your own, just head over to the Isager Alpaca 2 page. Be sure and pick up the pattern above, too.
