Cookbook Mairlynd x BC Garn - the shawl journey

Melanie Berg, aka Mairlynd, is a knitting designer and bestselling author who has taken the knitting world by storm with her clear, modern designs.

Together with Melanie, we have curated four of her spectacular scarf designs and combined them with BC Garn’s most popular yarns. Each scarf features a unique construction and knitting technique, taking you on a journey through various styles, from worsted to combed yarns, and through fibers like alpaca, silk, and wool. Every pattern and yarn combination has been carefully chosen to highlight the unique qualities of both.

Knitting these designs will bring you as much joy as we had creating this collection! Knit a warm hug for yourself and your friends. Or four.

The patterns are available for free as PDFs with the lookbook.
