#1126 Lagoon Scarf
What is Being Made: The Lagoon is an elegant scarf designed by Julie Turjoman that functions as both a traditional scarf and a shoulder wrap. With finished measurements of 17 inches wide by 72 inches long, this piece offers versatility for warmer weather wear. The scarf's generous width allows it to gather beautifully for traditional scarf styling or drape elegantly across the shoulders as a wrap.
Techniques Used: This project employs multiple knitting techniques suitable for advancing knitters. The pattern incorporates lace knitting and cable knitting as primary stitch techniques, combined with garter stitch for structural side edges that prevent rolling. The scarf is worked back and forth in rows as one continuous long piece, with matching garter stitch borders on both the cast-on and bind-off edges. The Long-Tail cast-on method is used to begin the project.
Stitches Used: The Lagoon features a lace and cable pattern that repeats over a multiple of 13 stitches plus 12, with an 8-row repeat. Key stitches include:
- Garter stitch (knit every row) for edges and borders
- Cable stitches, specifically 2/2 Right Cable (2/2 RC) and 2/2 Left Cable (2/2 LC)
- Lace stitches including yarn overs (yo), slip-slip-knit decreases (ssk), and knit-two-together decreases (k2tog)
Materials: The Lagoon is worked in Valley Yarns Charlemont, a premium fiber blend consisting of 60% Fine Superwash Merino, 20% Silk, and 20% Polyamide. This blend provides both softness and durability, with the silk and polyamide contributing to the gorgeous drape characteristic of the finished piece. The pattern requires 2 hanks of yarn in the Rasp Raspberry Rose colorway, with each hank providing 100 grams and 439 yards of yardage. Knitters will need US 6 (4.00mm) needles sized to achieve the specified gauge of 21 stitches and 28 rows over 4 inches in lace and cable stitch when blocked. Additional materials include a cable needle and tapestry needle for finishing.
Skill Level: Classified as Advanced Beginner, the Lagoon is designed for newer knitters seeking to improve their foundational lace and cable knitting skills while remaining challenging enough to engage experienced knitters. The combination of lace and cable techniques provides meaningful skill development without overwhelming complexity.
