Pattern. Ondea Rosa, from Tejidos Jigra Knits, but heavily modified.
Since I got the yarn from my Nana’s old stash, I’m 99% certain that it’s acrylic. The scarf is curling in on itself quite a bit. Does anyone know anything about blocking acrylic?

Hi.
Does ‘heavily modified’ mean that you only went in one direction? Blocking acrylic is really an oxymoron. You may want to frog the last two or three rows of garter stitch and knit about 6 of reverse stockinette stitch then 4 rows (2 ridges) of garter stitch to undo some of that curl. My original scarf curled too, until I blocked it, but it is wool.
I love the look. Someone will surely enjoy it for Valentine’s Day!
Best!
