**Materials:**
3 skeins of Clinton Hill Cashmere Bespoke Aran
Size US 10 24” circular needles
  
**Notes:**
This cowl is worked lengthwise, flat, then seamed together at the cast on and bind off edges. The edges will curl until the piece is blocked flat.

**Materials:**
4 skeins of Ikigai Chibi Paka Chunky
• 2 of color A (wild salmon)
• 1 of color B (wild salmon twist)
• 1 of color C (french vanilla)
Size 10.5 US 24” circular needles

**Materials:**
Northern Bee Yak Sock - 1 skein of each of 4 colors
Size 7 US 24” circular needles
  
**Notes:**
Yarn is held double throughout. The pattern begins at the narrow end and gets progressively wider. The odd-numbered rows are the right side. We recommend using a locking stitch marker to mark this side.

**Materials:**
7 skeins of Ikigai Chibi Paka Chunky
• 2 skeins MC
• 5 skeins different-colored CCs
Size 10.5 US 24” or 32” circular needle
  
**Finished Dimensions:**
26” wide x 31” long
  
**Gauge:**
approximately 13 sts & 21 rows = 4 inches
  
**Notes:**
The blanket is reversible, but to keep the nice clean lines between colors on the right side (RS), always change colors on the same edge. It’s ok if your gauge is a little different from ours, but you may not achieve as many garter ridges as we did without running out of yarn in each section.

**Materials:**
La Bien Aimée [Confetti](https://ninachicago.com/products/confetti?_pos=1&_sid=63da93080&_ss=r) (252 yds)
  
• 1 skein of color A - nightfall
• 1 skein of color B - anemone
• 1 skein of color C - gris éphémère
• Size 10 US 24” [circular needles](https://www.ninachicago.com/collections/fixed-circulars)
  
  
**Gauge:**
21 sts & 38 rows = 4 inches in linen stitch pattern
  
**Finished Dimensions:**
90” wide x 15” tall while laying flat, after blocking
  
**Notes:**
Gauge is not important, but this pattern was designed to use most of the yarn. If at any point you feel you are running low, simply reduce the row count.

This simple but striking scarf is a bit like a puzzle with slanted pieces.  It is a relatively simple combination of 3 sections:

**Colored Stripes
Vertical Stripes
Horizontal Stripes**

Each section is bordered/divided by a Garter Slant.  After working the horizontal stripes section, the vertical stripes and colored stripes are repeated to the end with the colors reversed.

The Vertical Stripes section has both a chart and written instructions.
