Product Description
Sammy & Rex Scarf and Cowl in Juniper Moon Moonshine Trios
Project Overview
The Sammy & Rex collection features two coordinating knitted accessories designed to showcase the beautiful color transitions of Juniper Moon Farm's Moonshine Trios yarn. Both the scarf and cowl showcase a striped chevron pattern that takes advantage of the yarn's inherent color changes, making these projects ideal for knitters who want to create visually striking pieces with minimal color work complexity.
Scarf Details
What is Being Made: A long, rectangular scarf measuring approximately 70 inches by 4 inches (180 cm by 10 cm) in finished dimensions. The scarf is designed as a single-size project that works well for various body types and styling preferences.
Techniques Used: The scarf employs a repeating chevron stitch pattern that creates diagonal lines and peaks across the fabric. The pattern uses yarn color changes to enhance the visual impact of the chevron motif. Knitters will work flat on straight needles, alternating between knit and purl rows to create the stockinette base with strategic increases and decreases that form the chevron shaping.
Stitches Used: The pattern utilizes fundamental knitting stitches including knit (k), purl (p), knit into front and back (kfb) for increases, and slip 2 stitches as if to knit 2 together, knit 1, pass the 2 slipped stitches over (s2kp) for centered decreases. These stitches work together to create the chevron's characteristic peaks and valleys. The scarf begins with a cast-on of 355 stitches and concludes with a purlwise bind-off.
Materials: The scarf requires one hank each of two coordinating colors from the Moonshine Trios yarn line. Recommended color combinations include Stormy Weather with Meadow, Waves with Cherry Blossom, Pink Champagne with Caribbean, Sea Shell with Undergrowth, and Stormy Weather with Cherry Blossom. Knitters will use US 7 (4.5 mm) straight needles and a tapestry needle for finishing.
Cowl Details
What is Being Made: A close-fitting cowl available in two sizes: Small and Large. The Small cowl measures approximately 18 inches (46 cm) in circumference and 7 inches (18 cm) in height, while the Large measures approximately 23 inches (58.5 cm) in circumference with the same 7-inch height. This versatile neckwear piece is worked in the round to create a seamless, continuous tube.
Techniques Used: The cowl is constructed using circular knitting, which eliminates seams and creates a polished, professional finish. Like the scarf, the cowl features a repeating chevron pattern enhanced by strategic color changes in the yarn. Knitters work in the round using a circular needle, alternating between rounds worked in each color to build the striped chevron effect. The circular construction allows the pattern to repeat seamlessly around the circumference.
Stitches Used: The cowl employs the same core stitches as the scarf: knit (k), knit into front and back (kfb) for increases, and slip 2 stitches as if to knit 2 together, knit 1, pass the 2 slipped stitches over (s2kp) for decreases. The Small size begins with a cast-on of 91 stitches, while the Large size begins with 117 stitches. These stitch counts ensure proper pattern repeat alignment in the round.
Materials: The cowl requires one hank each of two coordinating Moonshine Trios colors, using the same color combination options as the scarf. Knitters will need a US 7 (4.5 mm) circular needle measuring 16 inches (40 cm) in length, stitch markers for tracking pattern repeats and the beginning of rounds, and a tapestry needle for weaving in ends.
Gauge and Construction Notes
Both projects work to a gauge of approximately 20 stitches and 28 rows over 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch. Achieving proper gauge is essential for obtaining the correct finished dimensions. The pattern is part of the Viroqoa Collection by designer Pamela Wynne and is available as a downloadable PDF from Juniper Moon Farm.
Design Benefits
The chevron pattern in both the scarf and cowl is specifically engineered to celebrate the color-changing properties of Moonshine Trios yarn. By alternating between two coordinating colors and using
