Berroco Fairmount Knit Scarf
What is Being Made
The Fairmount is a knitted scarf designed by Åsa Buchta, measuring approximately 8 inches wide by 60 inches long. This is an easy-level knitting project that creates a finished accessory suitable for everyday wear. The scarf features a classic construction with ribbed edges and a textured center section.
Techniques Used
This scarf is worked bottom-up and seamless, meaning it is constructed as one continuous piece from cast-on to bind-off without requiring seaming. The scarf is worked flat on straight needles rather than in the round, allowing knitters to work back and forth in rows. The construction includes a set-up ribbing section at both the beginning and end of the scarf, with a textured moss stitch pattern forming the main body. The pattern involves strategic increases and decreases to transition between the ribbed edges and the central moss stitch section, creating a structured and polished finished garment.
Stitches Used
- Moss Stitch: The primary stitch pattern used for the scarf's main body. Moss stitch is a textured, reversible pattern created by alternating knit and purl stitches in a specific sequence over 4 rows. The pattern repeat is a multiple of 4 stitches plus 2, creating a subtle checkerboard texture that looks the same on both sides of the fabric.
- Ribbing: Used for the set-up and finishing sections at both ends of the scarf. Ribbing is created by alternating knit and purl stitches in vertical columns, producing an elastic fabric that hugs the edges.
- Make One (M1): An increase technique used to add a stitch during the transition from ribbing to moss stitch.
- Knit Two Together (K2tog): A decrease technique used to reduce stitches when transitioning from the moss stitch body back to the ribbed finishing section.
Materials
This project requires Berroco Fika yarn in the colorway #7054 Rocket, with 2 hanks needed (100 grams per hank). The yarn is worked using two sizes of knitting needles: size 4 (3.5 mm) for the ribbed sections and size 6 (4 mm) for the moss stitch body. The gauge is 24 stitches and 36 rows over 4 inches in moss stitch using the larger needle, measured after blocking. Knitters should verify their personal gauge before beginning to ensure accurate finished measurements.
