"Wow! You are
fast! I received my patterns two days ago, only two days after ordering
them! You must understand what it is like to wait for that great pattern
you just found and can't wait to start on! Thank you." --Paige
The
main pattern stitch of this simple scarf is a derivative of the Shetland
lace stitch 'Feather and Fan' or 'Old Shale.' Appropriately named
as waves sweep across the mid-portion of the scarf with a knit-as-you-go
lacy border. Catch the wave with a variegated blue and green
colorway such as
Blue Bayou or
Sea Cruise.
The
pattern calls for approximately 500 yards or 2-2-1/2 oz. (55-70g) of
fine
yarn for blocked measurements of 14" by 68". Knit with size 6 U.S.
(4.0 mm) needles. Gauge is an average of 4-1/2 stitches per inch
over combination of border and main patterns after blocking under
tension. This would be a great project for a wide range of
yarn weights and fibers including the yarns listed belowand
others. This is one of those easy-to-knit patterns you have been
looking for.
Although slightly
textured,
Cloud 9
is a very good choice. The fiber content
is 50% cotton/50% rayon which gives the yarn a nice, soft hand
and wonderful drape. This yarn also has just a little
stretch which makes it very nice to knit.
Need
assistance or have comments? I am always happy to hear from
you. I hope you enjoy your visit and will let me know if I may
assist you in any way. It is my pleasure to serve you.
