Maple & Moss

A little autumn around your neck. Maple & Moss combines moss-green garter texture, warm rust tips and slim cream stripes in a small scarf with plenty of personality. Knit it flat from one end to the other: grow the first tip, settle into the straight middle, then taper the second end. The softly blunt tips finish four stitches wide. No fringe, seams or sewing-up. The colourful 10-page A4 guide includes: • Two adult lengths: Petite, approximately 90 cm, and Long, approximately 110 cm. • A maximum width of approximately 10.9 cm at the stated gauge. • Written instructions for every stage, with stitch counts after every tip repeat. • Explanations of kfb, ssk and k2tog, precise row-width diagrams and a colour-change schedule. • A washed-gauge guide, length-adjustment formula, finishing notes and a project tracker. • Woodland-inspired product illustrations and a few little knitting jokes. Skill level: confident beginner with shaping. Work knit stitches, increases and decreases, colour changes, casting on and casting off. Yarn: soft DK yarn in moss, rust and cream, or your favourite palette. Planning allowances are 130 m moss for Petite or 160 m for Long, plus 35 m rust and 10 m cream. The moss allowance includes the swatch. Needles: start with 4 mm / US 6 and adjust to achieve 22 stitches and 44 rows per 10 cm in washed, relaxed garter stitch. A cheerful little project for your own cool-weather wardrobe or a handmade gift. Knit a tiny woodland, one row at a time.
