Hi jens2016! We recommend asking our active Facebook community for help, as well. Maybe someone over there has tried this pattern out. Hope that helps and good luck! -Kaylee, Editor of FaveCrafts.com

I started knitting this tonight with Merino wool, and it looks fabulous. It bunches up a little, doesn't stay flat. Does this need to be blocked, or am I doing something wrong?

I would also like to know where I can find pattern for mittens to match the scarf? You would think that showing the matching scarf and mittens, they would show pattern for both.

I really like the scarf pattern. Next time I will try knitting Rows 1-14 three times then fill the rest with stockenette and finish of with rows 1-14 twice and row 1-9 once.
