Koigu Garter Stitch Scarf

In the hectic lead up to the holidays, one of the most relaxing projects I worked on was a garter stitch scarf in Koigu KPM yarn.

Garter Stitch Scarf with Koigu Yarn

Koigu’s merino yarn feels wonderful in your hands. It’s soft and springy and has that fantastic twist. And I was constantly thrilled by the brilliant orange-red color with its subtle variations in saturation.

I used 3 hanks of Koigu KPM yarn and Addi Turbo 24″ size 4 circular needles. I cast on 40 stitches and knit every row until I had just enough yarn to bind off. For a cleaner edge, I slipped the first stitch of every row with the yarn held in the back. It’s simple, beautiful, and feels wonderful around your neck.

This one was a gift; now I’m tempted to make another for myself!
