Caitlin Hunter’s recent “Halibut” sweater makes good use of Scout – as does the “Halibut Hat” and “Halibut Cowl,” a trio of colorwork patterns with a delightfully large fish motif.
You’ll need a high contrast color combination to show the pattern clearly – here are a few ideas!
In case halibut aren’t your cup of tea, here are a few other 2-color patterns suitable for Scout.
- “Sheep Camp Sweater,” by Jennifer Berg – colorwork yoke pullover with arrow motif
- “Arboreal,” by Jennifer Steingass – colorwork yoke pullover with leaf motif
- “Pinia,” by Isabell Kraemer – colorwork yoke pullover with tree motif
- “Bean & Olive,” by Andrea Mowry – child’s colorwork yoke pullover with heart motif
- “Codlin Heid,” by Kate Davies – colorwork hat with geometric motif
Look for Kelbourne Woolens Scout in the DK weight section here at our shop – we’re open from 11:00 am – 5:30 pm, Tuesdays – Saturdays. You can also order online for local pickup or shipping – just use our online order form!
