Materials and Yarn
The recommended yarn for this pattern is Sandnes Garn Børstet Alpakka, a bulky weight blend of 96% alpaca and 4% nylon, known for its softness and warmth. Approximately 300 grams, equating to 678–722 yards (620–660 meters), are required to complete the scarf. Knitting needles in sizes 7.0 mm and 6.0 mm are suggested to achieve the specified gauge of 13 stitches and 17 rows per 10 cm in stockinette stitch, knitted in the round.
