Ruke Shoulder Scarf Knitting Pattern
What is Being Made
The Ruke shoulder scarf is a feminine, timeless knitted accessory designed by Neringa Ruke for beginner knitters. This shoulder scarf measures 170cm (67 inches) in width by 95cm (37 inches) in length, making it an elegant piece suitable for casual wear during cold seasons. The pattern is worked in a single size and offers a simple yet stylish design that complements everyday wardrobes.
Knitting Techniques and Stitches
This beginner-friendly knitting pattern focuses on teaching fundamental increase techniques while working in a classic Stockinette stitch. The primary learning objective is mastering RLI (Right Leaning Increase) and LLI (Left Leaning Increase) techniques, making this an ideal project for knitters developing their shaping skills. The entire scarf is constructed using Stockinette stitch, a fundamental knit stitch pattern that creates a smooth, flat fabric with characteristic V-shaped stitches on the right side.
The pattern is designed with flexibility in mind—knitters can easily adjust the finished length by adding or decreasing rows as desired. When modifying the length, yarn quantities should be recalculated accordingly to ensure sufficient yardage for the extended project.
Yarn and Materials
The Ruke shoulder scarf is worked using two yarns held together, creating a luxurious blended fabric:
- Ruke knit Wool: 100% wool in colour 202, requiring 200g (7oz) or 700m (766 yards). This yarn provides 350m (383 yards) per 100g ball.
- Filcolana Tilia: A delicate blend of 70% kid mohair and 30% silk in colour 358, requiring 100g (3.5oz) or 840m (920 yards). This yarn yields 210m (230 yards) per 25g ball.
The combined yarn weight is classified as worsted weight (also known as Afghan or Aran weight), which creates a fabric with good drape and warmth suitable for a shoulder scarf.
Knitters will need 4mm (US size 6, UK size 8) circular needles measuring 60-80cm (24-31 inches) in length. Circular needles are essential for this project, allowing comfortable manipulation of the wide fabric as it grows.
Gauge
The pattern specifies a gauge of 16 stitches by 27 rows per 10cm (4 inches) when worked in Stockinette stitch with the recommended yarn and needles. Achieving accurate gauge is important for obtaining the correct finished measurements.
