I would like to knit the LATU Scarf for my son-in-law for Christmas, made from 100% baby alpaca - silvergrey - so that it is comfortable to wear in winter. The designer is casting on 48 stitches with needle N°4. My impression is that the cables make the scarf even narrower. He is a tall man (1.86m).
How many stitches would you cast on ? 48 stitches are too few for me. Thanks for any help
I would add at lest another repeat of the cable (4 stitches) + 2 purl stitches, so there are 3 cables in the middle in total. Also, I would increase the number of stiches for each cable up to 6 instead of 4. These changes would definitely make the scarf look wider.
I agree, my thoughts exactly, increase the cables to three but I think Id increase on both edges (the always knit ones) by one stitch and perhaps the stockinette on each side of the cables by one sti
