Swans Island Old Port Scarf Knitting Pattern

Wrap yourself in the cozy elegance of the Swans Island Old Port Scarf, designed by Michele Rose Orne. This extra-long scarf features a classic jumbo Fisherman's Rib stitch that works up quickly on extra-large needles, perfect for knitters seeking fast, satisfying results. Crafted with two strands of fingering-weight yarn held together—Swans Island Pure Blends merino and alpaca in Seasmoke paired with natural merino—this scarf boasts beautiful fluid drape and surprising warmth without weight. The versatile "old school" aesthetic complements any wardrobe, while optional tasseled fringe adds playful flair or a more refined look. Worked in the round using stranded colorwork techniques, this easy project measures a generous 71¼ inches, making it the ultimate transitional piece for early fall through late spring.
