Alba Scarflette Knitting Pattern
The Alba Scarflette is an easy, beginner friendly scarf knitting pattern. This chunky scarflette is knit with a simple four row repeat. If you enjoy knitting while watch tv, or listening to an audiobook then you’ll enjoy this easy knit scarf pattern.
The Alba is a simple pattern that makes a beautiful scarf, or neck warmer. If you’d like to continue to increase your scarf or a larger size, you can do that easily.
The subtle lavender and beautiful texture stitch pattern combine wonderfully. I love that this one keeps my neck warm, without any fussy tails.
The Alba would also style nicely with a brooch or shawl pin to keep it secure.

Yarn
This extra cozy chunky yarn is Lion Brand’s Hue + Me.* The color I chose for this pattern is Haze, lovely lavender.
This is the same yarn I use in the crochet pattern for the Tuscan Charm Beanie. If you also crochet, you may like these patterns, as there’s a matching cowl too.
I love how squishy and warm this #5 bulky weight yarn is around my neck. All the colors of Hue + Me yarn are muted and subtle.
You can certainly use another #5 bulky weight yarn for this cowl pattern. I recommend Color Made Easy* yarn as a substitute.
A super bulky yarn may work as well but be sure to check gauge or your scarf will turn out a different size and use more or less yarn too.

Stitch
The Alba Scarflette is an easy, beginner pattern that uses knits and purls. To increase you’ll use the kfb-knit front and back.
Tip: Add a locking stitch marker to the front of your work after every row 4 repeat. This will help you keep track of where you are in the pattern.
