THE NØRREBRO SCARF by Denise Twum
THE NØRREBRO SCARF by Denise Twum Sometimes you just want a quick instant gratification project that you can finish in one evening. This scarf complements the Nørrebro Hat, and is just that kind of project, combining simple ribbing with a sand stitch for the perfect, squishy unisex scarf. Both the hat and scarf patterns are named after Nørrebro, the suburb of Copenhagen where I saw a lady rocking a similar- looking hat to the Nørrebro Hat.

Bio Denise was introduced to knitting by her supervisor while working at her college’s science library in 2006.
Main Body Repeat the two rows of the sand stitch pattern until the scarf is between almost 6ft long (5ft 8in or 67-68 in long), ending on Row 2..
Knitting kept her company as she traveled to five countries for a year of independent research, and she’s been addicted ever since.
Edging Work 3-4 more inches of 1x1(or 2x2) ribbing. Finishing Bind off loosely, and weave in ends. Lightly steam block if you’d like.
You will find her watching a lengthy Bollywood movie or Korean drama while knitting. You can contact her and keep up with her knitting exploits at www.niseyknits.com.
