4. The Featherlight Mohair Air Scarf
Introduction
An ethereal, cloud-like accessory worked with lace-weight silk mohair on oversized needles.
What This Idea Means
This design captures a dreamy, delicate Parisian aesthetic. It yields an airy, transparent weave that drapes softly around the neck without weight or bulk.
How to Make It
- Yarn & Needles: 2 balls of lace-weight silk-mohair blend paired with 6.5 mm (US 10.5) needles.
- Cast On: 35 stitches loosely.
- Pattern: Work in continuous garter stitch or simple
[K2, P2]ribbing. Keep your hands relaxed so the long mohair halo fills the spaces between large stitches. - Length: Work 70 inches, bind off with ultra-loose tension, and weave in ends invisibly.
Tips and Variations
- Double up the yarn strand for a slightly denser, marled look.
- Style folded diagonally as a neckerchief or draped loosely over tailored coats.
