Scarves always go - even when it's warm
Maschenfein and scarves go together like summer and ice cream. Yes, even in summer it's always good to have a scarf to hand. On cool mornings or evenings, you can drape them loosely over your shoulders and stay cozy against the cold. They also offer protection against draughts when air conditioning, fans or open windows do more than cool you down. Summer scarves are just as suitable for camping or walking along the beach at sunset as they are for a summer wedding - a large scarf worn as a stole is the perfect accessory for a festive outfit.
Cool, but still warming
Basically, you can knit a summer version of almost any shawl. To do this, replace the original yarn with a summer yarn in a suitable gauge. Please note, however, that summer yarns are somewhat heavier due to the materials used. If you are unsure about the right yarn, please write to us at support@maschenfein de - Sandra and Chris will then look for the perfect alternative in our gauge database.
Summer yarns are (partly) made from animal hair-free fibers, which is why they are less warming. Silk even has a temperature-regulating effect. Blended yarns with merino can be worn practically all year round and are wonderfully soft thanks to the merino content, but still not too warm. Pure vegetable yarns, on the other hand, tend to be less warm and can be pleasantly airy. However, they often appear relatively hard when knitted. But that definitely changes when you wear them!

Airy through holes
Lace patterns - also known as lace patterns - are particularly suitable for summer. Lace work is based on the interplay of yarn overs and stitches knitted together. Knitting a yarn over creates a hole underneath the new stitch. Thin yarns are often knitted with relatively heavy needles. This makes the knitted fabric particularly light and airy.

Without fleece - without Maschenfein
We at Maschenfein love mohair, as you know. So much so, that we can knit it in summer without any problems. But a shawl made of mohair can also be suitable for summer. A large and airy shawl that - loosely wrapped around the shoulders - warms on balmy evenings. Simply cozy - even in summer. So it's no surprise that Marisa has already written a few tutorials on such airy, big scarves. Here are our favorites:

Small and fine
Cloths can never be big enough. But sometimes something small is enough. Quickly stowed away in your handbag, scarves are the perfect companion for a stroll through the city or a sightseeing tour.

With the right accessories to the perfect cloth

Particularly long circular knitting needles are ideal for shawls. This means you always have enough space on the needle - no matter how big the shawl is.
Needle systems are particularly convenient. You can vary the length using the interchangeable cables. This is particularly practical for triangular shawls when the number of stitches is constantly increasing or decreasing during knitting. You can also compensate for differences in the strength of the stitches in back and forth rows. Simply screw a thinner needle - or a heavier one, depending on how tightly you knit your knit or purl stitches - to the end of the cable whose needle you are using to knit the back row.

Tension for the most beautiful cloths
To ensure that the pattern on your fabric is shown to its full advantage, it should be stretched into shape after washing. Stretching mats are particularly helpful for this.
Depending on the model, it may be sufficient to smooth the fabric and fix it with worsted needles. Straight lace patterns unfold best when you stretch the knitted piece under tension.
