Alex Scarf
-
Detail
Alex Scarf is a simple ribbed scarf that can be knit up in a wide range of different yarn combinations, depending on desired look. The scarf is worked back and forth, from wingtip to wingtip, in a 2x2 rib pattern that will keep its shape well, both lengthwise and widthwise. You start from the first tip and work increases until you reach the full width of the scarf. From here, you continue even until shaping the other tip with decreases to mirror the first tip.
All three sizes follow the same shaping interval and are worked over the same number of stitches. Where only one number is given, it is applicable to all three sizes.Sizes: Small (Medium, Large)

Nice quality scarf — soft and well made but the pattern repeat is subtle to the point of looking solid in low light which wasn’t what I expected from the photo still wearing it often though and the fold-and-tuck drape works great with crewnecks shipping was reliable and the support team sent washing tips unprompted

Bought this after my old scarf frayed at the edges within a month — this one has clean reinforced hems and zero pilling after 3 weeks of daily wear the olive green matches everything in my closet and the box came sealed with ribbon like a gift even though I ordered solo

Great scarf for layering under my denim jacket — no bulk at the collar and the length is perfect for tucking or letting hang the wool blend feels premium and warm without scratchiness arrived 2 days early and the return label was pre-printed just in case

Love the feel and fit — super soft and drapes beautifully around my shoulders but the navy shade is slightly darker than shown online still flattering though and the stitching held up after two hand washes delivery was smooth and the tracking updates were accurate

Wore it to my sister’s garden wedding — lightweight enough for 75° sunshine but warm when the evening breeze kicked in the texture looked luxe in photos and didn’t slip off my shoulders once shipping was faster than expected and the order included a reusable cloth bag

Wore this scarf to my outdoor farmers market date last Saturday and got three compliments before noon the soft knit hugged my neck without itching and the muted rust color popped against my cream coat shipping arrived in 3 days and the packaging had a little handwritten note — felt like shopping with a friend who knows my style
