Glissa scarflette kit - DuneGrass+Teal

Colour: Dune Grass / Teal

Glissa is the statement scarflette to elevate any outfit. Worked back and forth in rows, it’s knitted in two pieces, each decorated with a beaded colourwork border of orb-shaped motifs. The body is worked in stocking stitch, slip stitches and garter stitch, which combine to give the scarflette its reversible linear texture. Once cast off, the two pieces are joined, allowing the beaded colourwork to flow from the scalloped cast-on edges towards the centre of the piece. There’s a choice of methods for joining: simple mattress stitch, the more decorative crochet slip-stitch, or zipper join. Choose the one that best suits your skill set. 

Skill Level

Not included in this kit

4.5 mm / US 7 needles. As needle types can be quite personal for some knitters, I thought I’d let you choose whichever you prefer. Plus of course, once you’ve swatched, you may need to adjust the size in order to match the stated tension.
