Betsy Scarf and Cowl
This is a stunning, super clever pattern that is fun to knit (but in my experience, not in front of the telly!) The scarf is made using the ‘double knitting’ technique. Here you are basically knitting two scarves together, creating a super squishy piece that is completely reversible and totally lovely! Double Knitting is simple – you use both yarns at the same time, moving both between the needles as you knit and purl, but only ever knitting with one strand. You will love how this turns out I promise!
Size: Cowl: 72cm circumference x 20cm high, Short Scarf: 25cm x 130cm, Long Scarf: 25cm x 190cm Gauge: 6.5 sts and 9 rows to 10cm/4” on 10mm needles.
You will need: Cowl: 1 skein each colour (shown in Gooseberry Fool & Peppermint Cream (B). Scarf: (short, long): 2 (3) skeins of each colour.
10mm, 60cm circular needles
Washing
Plump Superchunky and Plump DK are made from the highest quality superfine merino and baby alpaca. These really are special and luxurious fibres and should be treated carefully! Having said that both yarns are suitable for delicate hand washing. Use a specialist detergent and do not agitate or twist the fibres to retain the gorgeous softness and shape of your garment.
Shedding
Because of the roving nature of our yarns (they are single ply, rather than tightly twisted), some shedding may occur. The best way to deal with this is spray your finished garment with water and leave to dry flat, naturally before the first wearing. This sets the fibres and should stop any problems.

Using your yarn
All our yarn comes in skeins. Before using you need to wind the skein into a ball or you will get into an awful tangled mess! If you are not sure how to do this you can watch our video here!
