Uma Scarf | Cardiff Cashmere Knitting Kit + Pattern

Uma Scarf

Knitting Kit | Cardiff Cashmere + PetiteKnit Pattern | Experienced Beginner

The Uma Scarf is two colours: a main colour and a contrasting colour; it is worked from the centre outward, with increases worked on RS rows. At the end, a contrasting edge is worked along two of the sides of the scarf. If you wish to work the Uma Scarf in a limited amount of yarn (i.e. more or less than the yardage listed on the front page for the size), simply work increases as the pattern dictates until you run out of yarn.

You are purchasing a Knitting kit that includes the Yarn with a Main Colour and a Contrast colour, and either a printed copy of the knitting pattern or a PDF pattern emailed to you from RAVLERY, not the item itself.
