Before You Start with Iride
The white leader yarn at the ends of an Iride cake is waste yarn. For a centre pull, remove the white leader before starting. If working from the outside, stop before the final white leader section and discard it. Do not knit or crochet the white leader into your project.
Yarn Requirements
| Size / project | Yarn | Strands held | Metres supplied |
|---|---|---|---|
| One size | Sesia Iride | Single | 450 m |
Use one strand throughout. One cake supplies the whole scarf and creates its gradual colour sequence.

Frequently asked questions
How much yarn is included?
One 125 g Iride cake supplies 450 m, worked with one strand to make one scarf.
Is this scarf knitted flat?
Yes. It uses knit and purl rows with yarn-forward eyelets, knit-two-together decreases and garter-stitch edges.
What should I do with the white leader yarn?
Remove it before a centre pull, or stop before the final white leader when working from the outside. It is waste yarn and should not be knitted into the scarf.
Are needles included?
No. You need 3.75 mm needles and a tapestry needle. The N1681 pattern is supplied as a printed copy.
How do I check tension?
An 18-stitch pattern repeat should measure approximately 8 cm wide. Check the actual scarf stitch pattern rather than the yarn-label stocking-stitch gauge.
