This scarf is made with 3 different colours to add depth of colour. The main yarn is natural mohair and it is knitted with 2 strands of lace weight in different depths of the same shade of colour.
If you start with a coloured mohair maybe use a darker and lighter shade of the same colour for the lace weight.
The pattern is made up of knit and purl stitches, as it has equal numbers of both, there is no curling.
