Dot Scarf in Rowan Pebble Island – Knitting Pattern Summary (German Edition)

This downloadable PDF pattern by Erika Knight presents the Dot Scarf, a knitting design worked in Rowan Pebble Island yarn. The pattern is written in German and is rated intermediate in difficulty. Based on the PDF content, the pattern encompasses not only a scarf but also a pair of fingerless mitts (Stulpen) complete with a thumb gusset, making this a multi-piece accessory set ideal for coordinating cold-weather wardrobe additions.

What Is Being Made

The Scarf (Schal)

The scarf is knitted in a straightforward construction using Rowan Pebble Island, a worsted weight yarn sold in 50 g balls. The design is worked in a rib stitch pattern and continues until a specified length is reached before all stitches are cast off. The colourwork element — referenced by the pattern name Dot — is achieved through optional embroidery added after knitting, using small amounts of the same yarn in a contrasting shade.

The Fingerless Mitts / Wrist Warmers (Stulpen)

The pattern includes instructions for both a right mitt (rechter Stulpen) and a left mitt (linker Stulpen), each featuring a shaped thumb gusset (Daumenzwickel). The thumb is worked using short rows with stitch markers, stitches are picked up around the thumb opening, and the thumb seam is closed after completion. The mitts are worked to a finished length of 35 cm from the cast-on edge before all stitches are cast off in rib.

Yarn and Colourway Information

The pattern calls for Rowan Pebble Island, a worsted weight yarn, used across the scarf and mitts in two main colours:

• Colour A – Diddle Dee 026: Used for the scarf (2 balls for the Daumen/thumb section, 1 ball for the Stulpen, 1 ball for the Schal, and 2 additional balls for the Schal)
• Colour B – Kelp 028: Used alongside Colour A (1 ball for the Daumen, 3 balls for the Stulpen, and 4 balls for the Schal)
• Optional embroidery yarn – Stanley 025: Small quantities of Rowan Pebble Island in Stanley 025 are recommended for the decorative embroidered dot detail that gives the pattern its name

Needles and Tension

• Needle size: 4½ mm knitting needles (Stricknadeln Nr. 4½)
• A tension/gauge swatch (Maschenprobe) is referenced in the pattern and should be worked before beginning to ensure accurate sizing

Techniques Used

This intermediate-level knitting pattern draws on a range of standard and slightly more advanced techniques:

• Rib stitch (Ripp): The primary stitch pattern used throughout both the scarf and the mitts, creating a stretchy, textured fabric well suited to accessories
• Thumb gusset construction (Daumenzwickel): Increases are worked using stitch markers to shape the thumb opening on both the right and left mitts
• Short rows: Used to work the thumb section independently before rejoining to the main body of the mitt
• Picking up stitches: After the thumb is completed, stitches are picked up from the lower edge of the thumb opening and knitted together with the remaining mitt stitches to achieve a neat, seamless join
• Seaming: A thumb seam is closed after the thumb stitches are cast off
• Embroidery (optional): Small decorative dot motifs can be embroidered onto the finished fabric using Rowan Pebble Island in Stanley 025, adding the signature visual detail referenced in the pattern name
