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 grey scarf is worked in a soft worsted-weight merino wool, while the green version uses a super-warm chunky yarn.
The pattern features a strongly graphical design which is perfect for a man's scarf and includes instructions for three different widths. The patterning is completely reversible so it doesn't matter which side shows as the breezes start to blow.
Please see below for more information about this pattern.
