Urban Tweed Scarf: Variation on free pattern (increased width and solid color yarn)

I posted this FREE pattern a while ago and a friend asked me if I could make a wider scarf in a solid color – so I thought I’d share the changes in the pattern here.

The original pattern is available for free on Ravelry and Craftsy.

This variation is knit with an alpaca/wood sport-weight blend on 3mm needles, and the scarf (after blocking) measures 54 x 12 inches (137.25 x 30.5 cm).

What you’ll need:
3mm (US 2.5) needles
3 50-gram skeins of Alpaca Warehouse (color: petroleum) Superfine Alpaca Wool Sport 5-ply) – 200 yards/183 meters per skein

CO 83 stitches
Knit 2 rows of garter stitch
