Description:
The Isla Scarf is a knitted scarf featuring decorative weaving and fringes at both ends. The scarf has I-cord edges and is worked in garter stitch with a striped pattern. Afterwards, strands are woven lengthwise to create a checked pattern. The carried yarn is hidden inside the I-cord edges.

If you choose an alternative yarn, I recommend selecting one with little to no elasticity and a smooth surface, such as 100% alpaca or an alpaca-silk blend, with a tension of approximately 10cm = 4in = 26–27 stitches in stockinette stitch using 3mm needles. I recommend working with a single strand.
