Slubby & Pearl Romance Scarf

Materials
100g Marta's Yarns Pearl
200g Marta's Yarns Slubby
20 mm needles

This scarf is knitted in garter stitch (plain stitch on both sides) and is a mixture of 12 ply (Pearl) and 30 ply (Slubby) yarns.

Please feel free to alter the number of rows for each yarn. The idea with this scarf is to enjoy the textures and the contrasting thickness of the yarns.

Fringes
Cut the fringes before you begin knitting. Each fringe is 2 slubs of the Slubby yarn (approx 20 cm). Cut 65 pieces.
