1126 Lagoon Scarf Knitting Pattern

Project Overview

The Lagoon scarf is an elegant knitting pattern designed by Julie Turjoman, ideal for warmer weather wear. This breathable scarf combines lace and cable knitting techniques in a sophisticated design that works beautifully as both a traditional scarf and a shoulder wrap. The finished scarf measures 17 inches in width by 72 inches in length, making it versatile enough to gather and wear multiple ways.

Yarn and Materials

This pattern calls for Valley Yarns Charlemont, a premium blend yarn consisting of 60% Fine Superwash Merino, 20% Silk, and 20% Polyamide. The yarn is classified as 4-ply weight with yardage of 439 yards per 100-gram hank. The pattern requires 2 hanks of yarn in the RASP Raspberry Rose colorway. The silk and polyamide blend creates a soft hand and gorgeous drape that enhances the overall aesthetic of the finished piece.

Needles and Tools

Knitters will need US 6 (4.00mm) needles, or the size necessary to achieve proper gauge. Additional materials include a cable needle for managing cable stitches and a tapestry needle for finishing and weaving in ends.

Gauge and Sizing

The pattern specifies a gauge of 21 stitches and 28 rows over 4 inches when worked in lace and cable stitch on US size 6 needles and blocked. This pattern is available in one size only, with finished measurements of 17 inches wide by 72 inches long.

Knitting Techniques and Stitches

The Lagoon scarf features an allover lace and cable pattern that combines two distinct knitting techniques. The lace work creates openness and breathability, while the cable stitches add visual interest and texture. This combination of techniques makes the pattern suitable for newer knitters seeking to improve their foundational lace and cable knitting skills, while remaining engaging and challenging enough for more experienced knitters.

Skill Level and Suitability

Rated as Advanced Beginner difficulty, this pattern is designed for knitters who have mastered basic techniques and are ready to expand their skills. The pattern challenges newer knitters to develop proficiency with lace and cable work while remaining accessible to intermediate and advanced knitters looking for a rewarding project with elegant results.
