Lana Grossa 19 Scarf Knitting Pattern

Lana Grossa 19 Scarf in Ecopuno: Design 19A

What is Being Made

A rectangular scarf measuring 53 cm wide by 178 cm long, created using the Lana Grossa 19 design from Lookbook 06. This accessory is worked as a single flat piece from bottom to top, making it an ideal project for knitters seeking a straightforward, meditative knitting experience with striking color impact.

Techniques Used

This scarf employs bottom-up construction, meaning you begin at one end and work toward the other in a continuous piece. The design is seamless, requiring no finishing seams, and is worked flat on straight needles rather than in the round. The primary design element is a striped pattern that creates visual interest through systematic color changes throughout the piece.

Stitches Used

The scarf is worked entirely in stockinette stitch (abbreviated St st), which is created by knitting on the right side and purling on the wrong side. This classic stitch produces a smooth, flat fabric with a distinctive V-pattern texture on the front. The stripe pattern consists of 94 rows worked in each of five colors sequentially, totaling 470 rows for the complete scarf length.

Materials and Specifications

The scarf requires 50 grams each of Lana Grossa Ecopuno yarn in five colors: Khaki (col 27), Lilac (col 8), Yellow/Green (col 3), Light Grey (col 14), and Light Green (col 20). Ecopuno is a blend of 72% cotton, 17% pure wool, and 11% alpaca, offering 215 meters per 50-gram skein. This fiber composition creates a lightweight yet durable fabric suitable for year-round wear. Size 5 mm needles are used throughout. The recommended gauge is 21.5 stitches and 26.5 rows over 10 by 10 centimeters in stockinette stitch on size 5 mm needles. Construction begins with casting on 113 stitches and continues for 470 rows until the piece measures approximately 178 centimeters. Finishing involves pinning the piece to measurements and blocking to achieve final dimensions and even texture.

Lana Grossa 19 Scarf in Ecopuno: Design 19B

What is Being Made

A second colorway variation of the Lana Grossa 19 scarf design, also from Lookbook 06, with identical dimensions of 53 cm wide by 178 cm long. This version offers an alternative palette for knitters who prefer warmer, more earthy tones in their finished accessory.

Techniques Used

Design 19B employs the same construction methods as Design 19A: bottom-up building, seamless construction, and flat working on straight needles. The striped pattern technique remains the primary design feature, with color blocks creating the visual appeal of the finished scarf.

Stitches Used

Like its counterpart, this scarf is constructed entirely in stockinette stitch, knit on the right side and purled on the wrong side. The stripe pattern follows the same structure: 94 rows in each of five colors, accumulating to 470 total rows that determine the scarf's length.

Materials and Specifications

Design 19B requires 50 grams each of Lana Grossa Ecopuno in five different colors: Yellow (col 4), Yellow/Green (col 3), Greige (col 18), Jaffa Orange (col 5), and Anthracite (col 15). The yarn specifications remain identical to Design 19A: 72% cotton, 17% pure wool, 11% alpaca blend with 215 meters per 50-gram skein. Size 5 mm needles are required. The gauge is consistent at 21.5 stitches and 26.5 rows per 10 by 10 centimeters in stockinette stitch. Construction begins with casting on 113 stitches in Yellow and continues for 470 rows until reaching approximately 178 centimeters in length. Finishing is completed by pinning to measurements and blocking the completed piece.
