The SKEINO FISHERMAN SCARF is an old traditional scarf from northern Germany. The Fishermen use to wear them at sea to stay warm. The sections of two different rib knitting prevented the scarf from untying easily. The SKEINO FRANCESCA superwash extra fine merino yarn knits up beautifully to make this classical scarf. Two skeins contain a total of 360 yards. The FISHERMAN RIB STITCH (Brioche) pattern is easy and the yarn weight makes it a fast project that is good for beginners. This Knitting Kit will make a great gift. The scarf is designed for Men and all of the colors are more on the dark and subtle side.
