FAQs

1. How will I receive my pattern? You will receive a printed pattern sent by Royal Mail.
2. Is this suitable for beginners? No — you should have worked with plain ribbing and be able to recognise a knit or purl stitch by its shape.
3. Can I substitute a different yarn? Yes, as long as it matches the gauge above and is a #5 Chunky weight. Always knit a tension swatch first.
4. Can I make a longer/shorter scarf? Definitely. Just ensure your cast-on is a multiple of 4 +3 (for instance, 20+3=23, or 16+3=19).
