Beckenham Scarf

Beckenham Scarf by Moira Ravenscroft, Wyndlestraw Designs
One of the coldest apartments that I ever lived in was in an otherwise delightful town called Beckenham in Kent, down in the South-East corner of England. The flat seemed pleasantly cool in the summer when I moved in, but when winter arrived in full force then it was seriously  cold.

I rapidly learnt that good quality knitwear was essential to keep the winter chills at bay.  So, what better name for this new knitting pattern than the Beckenham Scarf!

​The pattern features a strongly graphical design which is just perfect for a man's scarf.  The stitch pattern is called Seeded Chevron and has been taken from our book, Reversible Knitting Stitches. This is a wonderfully dynamic stitch and the scarf pattern includes three different versions to give a slim, medium or wide scarf.

The slim scarf has deep "V" pattern shapes which gives a modern, dynamic feel to this version. This could be emphasised by using bold colour choices. The medium scarf has a slightly wider chevron patterning while the Wide Scarf has a low-rise chevron design giving a pleasing, classic result.

All of these can be worked in either a soft worsted-weight merino wool or a super-warm chunky yarn, giving lots of different options.

​All of the scarf options are completely reversible so it doesn’t matter which side shows as the breezes start to blow.

I shall be back next time with a blogpost addressing the age-old question: How long shall I make this scarf?

Until then – Happy Knitting!
