We're celebrating spring with this month's featured knitting project. The Stochastic Fantastic scarf embraces the chaotic beauty of nature by using the power of stochasticity - that's nerdy statistics speak for randomness - to place the flower motif. By rolling a die (or using a random number generator app or website) you'll slowly transition the scarf from plain stockinette stitch to a field of flowers. We love this scarf knit in a yarn that adds another layer of organic, variable texture - like Baby Suri (pictured in Mallard), mohair blends, or single-plies.
Have an Alpaca sensitivity? Not feeling the fuzz? We've got you. 🦙 💗 We've re-written this pattern to allow for a wider range of yarns.
Get the pattern free with purchase of the kit OR Baby Suri Alpaca or Mohair or other lace-weight yarn or single-ply yarn through 4/2/22! Just add both items to your cart to see the discount.
Pattern
Stochastic Fantastic Scarf by Emily Williams
Yarn
Suggested: One skein of Less Traveled Yarns Baby Suri (pictured in Mallard).
Other options: You'll need approximately 230-270 yards/210-250 meters of a yarn or combination of yarns that yields a fabric you like at the specified gauge (5 stitches per inch). Yardage can vary with yarn weight and row gauge. Fuzzy and single-ply yarns offer a pleasingly organic texture. We love lace-weight mohair/suri alpaca OR worsted OR fingering held along with lace-weight mohair/suri alpaca (requires full yardage of each yarn).
Shown above, left to right/top to bottom: Dark green scarf is Less Traveled Yarns Baby Suri (lace-weight 74% baby suri alpaca, 26% silk) in Mallard. Yellow/green scarf is Schulana Kid Seta in 06 Kiwi (lace-weight 70% kid mohair, 30% silk), which is VERY similar to Lang Mohair Luxe. Swatches (left to right) are: Malabrigo Worsted in Frank Ochre; Malabrigo Mechita in Frank Ochre, held with Lang Mohair Luxe in 114; and Lang Mohair Luxe in 114. All swatches get gauge and used the same needles.
