The English county of Kent is renowned for its hard winters. Residents living in towns such as Beckenham soon learn to wrap themselves up well when the northerly winds arrive. Here are two scarves that might just keep them – and you – warm during the deepest of chills. 


The Beckenham Scarf features a strongly graphical design which is perfect for a man's scarf. It is also completely reversible so it doesn't matter which side shows as the breezes start to blow.


The pattern includes stitch charts & full line-by-line instructions for three different widths, and each of these can be worked in either a soft worsted-weight wool or a super-warm chunky yarn.


Please see below for more information about this pattern.
