Koigu Silent Purple Scarf
What is Being Made
The Silent Purple Scarf is a long, narrow woven-textured knit accessory designed by Irina Poludnenko for the Koigu Pencil Box Collection. This finished scarf measures 7 inches by 64 inches (17.5cm by 160cm), making it an elegant, versatile piece suitable for various styling options. The scarf showcases a sophisticated color palette created through a ten-color progression using the Koigu Pencil Pack collection.
Techniques Used
This scarf is constructed using the bottom-up seamless method, worked flat on circular needles. The design employs a distinctive "tacking technique" that creates a unique textural effect by picking up stitches from previous rows and knitting them together through the back loop. This technique adds visual interest and structural integrity to the finished piece. The scarf is worked side to side, allowing for the systematic color transitions across the length of the garment.
Stitches Used
The Silent Purple Scarf primarily features two main stitch patterns: stockinette stitch (Stst) and seed stitch. These stitches are worked in alternating blocks of 21 stitches throughout the scarf. The seed stitch sections create a textured, bumpy surface that contrasts beautifully with the smooth, flat appearance of the stockinette stitch blocks. The combination of these two stitch types, enhanced by the tacking technique, produces a sophisticated, multi-dimensional fabric with excellent drape and visual appeal.
Materials and Tools
The scarf is knit using Koigu KPPPM yarn in the Silent Purple Pencil Pack, which consists of ten 25-gram demi skeins (87 yards each) in complementary purple-toned colorways: colors A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, and J. The yarn is 100% Merino wool, providing softness, breathability, and excellent stitch definition. Knitters will need a 3.75mm (US5) circular needle measuring 40 or 60 inches long (or appropriate size to obtain gauge) and a tapestry needle for finishing. The recommended gauge is 4.5 stitches and 8 rows per 1 inch in seed stitch.
