Luxe Scout Mini Kit – Jade Sapphire Hand-dyed Cashmere

Experience ultimate luxury with our limited anniversary edition  Scout Mini Kit, featuring a soft and luxurious cashmere base that’s hand-dyed from Jade Sapphire.

A sister design to the original Scout shawl, this slightly modified neckerchief shape shares the same intricate, pattern-filled look inspired by the pieced-together aesthetic of vintage quilts. A dream project for colourwork lovers, Scout’s patchwork effect is achieved by mixing Fair Isle and intarsia knitting throughout. 
For this version, Florence imagined diving into a trove of patterned fabrics that had been collected via travel-filled adventures. The collection is collaged together in a freeform manner, mixing memories into a patchwork composition.
Knitted sideways from tip-to-tip, this petite triangular shawl can be styled in numerous ways.

We have made kits in our very special Loop vintage palette and a super vibrant and zingy neon version.  Both are so beautiful, and what a fun knitting project!

Our kits come with all of the yarn you need, in full skeins and mini skeins which saves you from buying 5 whole skeins of yarn. As a gift, you also get one of our special Loop cotton bags.

Please note: the pattern is NOT included with the kit but can be purchased separately as a PDF through Ravelry and Florence Spurling Studio 

* The pattern recommends using a 3.5 mm needle, but we knit our sample with a 3.25 mm needle and a slightly looser gauge, which resulted in a larger, extra-cozy shawl. There’s enough yarn included to accommodate a variety of gauges.
