Blanket Stitch Trim Knit Winter Scarf

A neat rectangular scarf finished with a hand-look blanket stitch in a contrast shade along the edges, which is what lifts it above a plain wrap. The knit is dense and lightly brushed with a wool-like handle, warm enough for the cold but slim enough to tuck inside a coat without bulking up the collar. It is cut short and wide rather than long, so it knots easily and sits flat under a lapel. Five muted shades cover most coat colours, from soft beige and camel through charcoal and a strong red.

• Care: Hand wash cold, dry flat
