The edging is very definitely knitted.

The centre looks crocheted, but I can't get a close enough look because of the way the site has set up the photos. could it be a hybrid pattern?

Thanks, maywalk.

Looking at the photo of just the scarf, I reckon it's knitted.

I think a good proportion of sellers of women's clothes do not know what knitting and crochet look like and can't tell the difference.

I got in touch with another company a while back because they said their knitted jumper (which I bought) had "ribbing" cuffs and neck. The cuffs and neck were not knitted in ribbing but in garter stitch, which has completely different qualities from ribbing, which in turn is rather important in a neckline and cuffs.

It looks knitted to me as well.

Absolutely not, aggie. I emailed the company (who sent me a sale catalogue for some reason) to tell them the scarf looks knitted to me. They replied and said the information from their supplier was that it is crocheted.

It still looks knitted to me so before I email them again I'd like a few more opinions on its knittedness or crochetedness.

Do join in if you'rs a knitter/crocheter ?

It is nice ?

I suspect you are advertising this obviously crocheted wrap ?

Please look at this Plümo "Crochet Cream Scarf" and tell me if it is knitted or crocheted. Look closely and let me know. Many thanks.
