I Want That Scarf!

I finally am getting around to posting the pattern for my scarf design. There were so many people at Village Wools (my local yarn shop) that asked for the pattern, I figured what the heck! It is simple and fun. Great if you have never done lace or are just beginning! Or if you are a pro who needs something mindless to knit. It is written for the beginner. I don't want to assume that everyone knows what all the abbreviations and terms mean, so I have spelled them out for you. Want it wider, simply cast on more stitches.

It works with anything from a bulky to a fingering yarn, The pattern is written for worsted and sport weight. I knit up my first on in Lion's Brand Cotton Ease, just 2 balls. My next one is in Mulberry Silk by Lains du Nord with 3 balls. 2 great yarns on 2 different budgets! And they both look great! A drapier yarn I personally think is best suited for this; bamboo blends, cotton blends, silk blends, even alpaca if you tend toward the chilly side during the year. Just choose something that you can wear year 'round 'cause this is one scarf that does not want to stay packed away in a drawer! I can't wait to see what you choose...and how many of your friends will be saying "I want that scarf!".

This pattern was incorrect! Sorry! I updated it on 11-6-2008. Let me know if there are anymore mistakes!
