Fraser Scarf

Fraser Scarf // weaving pattern for rigid heddle looms by Amanda Wood

The Fraser Scarf is a twill scarf woven on a rigid heddle loom using two heddles. Inspired by the colours of the riverfront near the SweetGeorgia studio, this luxurious silk-and-linen twill scarf is both stylish and practical. Its generous length allows you to wrap it around your neck multiple times, making it a go-to accessory during the shoulder seasons and colder months. Crafted with just two skeins of yarn, this woven scarf is ideal for those with allergies and makes a thoughtful gift.

The pattern is free for School of SweetGeorgia members.
