Oxford

As I started thinking about my autumn collections, I was drawn to recapturing that warm, comforting feel of wearing something handmade from home when you first head off to university. I decided that Aran weight college style scarf designs fitted the bill, and as inspiration for the first set of designs, I looked to the universities that mean something to me and mine!

Oxford which is a simple, elegant design that uses the Comma stitch (a little pun for all you grammar fans!) to create the repeating textured motif. And if you aren't a fan of fringing, the scarf also looks amazing without it.

Suitable for knitters of all abilities, it's a fun, relaxing knit that is a great box set companion.

It can be styled in a number of ways. You can simply wear it straight, flicked over one shoulder or wrapped around the neck.

But whether you knit this accessory for someone who is off to university or college, another loved one or just for yourself, this scarf is a fabulous addition to any wardrobe.
