The Inspiration
You probably noticed — the little neck scarf has made a big comeback this season!
Of course, this kind of project immediately caught my attention!
First, because I love these small projects that let you use up leftover yarns cluttering our cupboards.
And also because it’s so hard to find good in-between-season knitting projects...
The decision was made — I was going to create my own version of this scarf! But not just any version — a stylish one, with a leopard-print look!
The Tiger Scarf was born!
The Pattern
The model is worked in moss stitch bottom to top, with an integrated icord edge.
Material: 120m/117 yards of mohair, fingering quality. For substitution, I recommend choosing a main yarn with a fluffy touch, such as brushed alpaca or angora.
Needles: Double-pointed needles 3.5mm/US4 or equivalent to achieve gauge.
Gauge (10x10 cm or 4x4 in): 28 stitches × 52 rows in moss stitch.
Finished dimensions: 102cm/40in in height and 8cm/3.1in in width.

- Repeat from * to * 17 times to increase one stitch on the left side every 4 rows. We have: 4 st for the edge, 18 st for the main part, 4 st for the edge.
- Keep knitting like this (4 stitches for the edge, 18 stitches moss stitch and 4 stitches for the other edge) until the work is 90 cm or 35.5 in height.
- Start decreasing by knitting together the last 2 moss stitches once every 4 rows.
- Reproduce those decreases 17 times every 4 rows in total: 9 stitches after 68 rows
- Knit together stitches 1 and 2, then stitches 3 and 4, knit stitch 5 alone, knit together stitches 6 and 7, then stitches 8 and 9.
- Bind off.
- Weave in the ends and block.
