    An alpaca scarf – isn’t that expensive? It would be, if you knitted a scarf that used lots of balls of yarn, but this scarf knitting pattern by Kirstie McLeod uses just one. “It’s a luxury yarn,” Kirstie says, “But you’ll find scarves on the high street costing more to buy than this does to make, and they won’t be made of British-grown pure alpaca!” Treat yourself to a bit of luxury for less than the cost of something mass-produced from lower-quality fibres. For yarn stockists contact Toft Alpaca.

    I got there in the end! The seven stitch is exactly as it says at the side. Never seen it before but gives an interesting effect

    I'm trying this pattern at the moment but am having difficulty with the 7stitch wrap! I consider myself an experienced knitter but this stitch has me flummoxed! Is there a video or step by step instructions available? Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Hi Meggietaters, sorry to hear you're having trouble.

    I've checked Simply Knitting's corrections page for the issue this appeared in, and it doesn't seem to mention the scarf: http://simplyknitting.themakingspot.com/blog/simply-knitting-issue-86-pa...

    You can contact the magazine team directly using the email address on that link, or I can get in touch for you?
