Modell A – Fan Scarf (Fanschal)

What Is Being Made

Modell A is a narrow fan scarf measuring approximately 9 cm wide and 140 cm long. It is worked flat in a bold stripe sequence and finished with decorative fringe at both ends, making it ideal for wearing to sporting events or gifting to fellow fans.

Techniques Used

• Flat knitting in rows, worked back and forth on straight or double-pointed needles
• Striped colorwork by changing yarn colors every 30 rows in a repeating sequence
• Fringe application at the cast-on and cast-off edges using a crochet hook to attach knotted fringe bundles
• Color sequencing: stripes worked in Black, Scarlett, and Yellow, always beginning and ending with Black

Stitches Used

• Rib stitch (Rippenmuster) throughout the body of the scarf, creating a stretchy, textured fabric with excellent drape
• Edge stitches (Randmaschen) worked at each side to create neat selvedges

Materials

• Yarn: Schachenmayr original Bravo, DK weight — color 8226 Schwarz (Black), 8241 Scarlet, and 8210 Gelb (Yellow), 50 g of each
• Needles: Prym double-pointed needle set size 3–4 mm
• Hook: Crochet hook size 4 mm (used for attaching fringe)

Gauge

In rib stitch (unstreched): 42 stitches and 28 rows = 10 x 10 cm. Achieving the correct gauge ensures the scarf reaches the intended width and length.

Fringe Detail

Seven or nine fringe bundles are attached at each end of the scarf in the same color order as the stripes — Black, Scarlett, Yellow — with the first and last fringe always worked in Black. Each fringe is made from six strands of yarn, each approximately 30 cm long, folded at the center and looped through the scarf edge, then the loose ends are pulled through the loop and tightened securely.

Modell B – Fan Scarf (Fanschal)

What Is Being Made

Modell B is a wider and longer version of the fan scarf, measuring approximately 12 cm wide and 170 cm long. It follows the same construction principles as Modell A but uses a higher stitch count and completes six full stripe repeats rather than five, resulting in a more substantial and dramatic scarf suitable for colder weather or a bolder look.

Techniques Used

• Flat knitting in rows with the same stripe and color-change method as Modell A
• Striped colorwork repeating the Black, Scarlett, Yellow sequence every 30 rows
• Fringe application at both cast-on and cast-off edges, with nine fringe bundles per end

Stitches Used

• Rib stitch (Rippenmuster) as the
