It seems this scarf took forever, though I set it aside to knit for my new grandson and to knit Holiday Gifts.

The pattern is by Lucy Neatby..not a free pattern but one that is worth buying since you get directions for 2 versions of the scarf.

I used a set of gradient dyed yarns. Actually there are 8 different colors in the scarf.

Love it! The colours are fabulous, great for the fall/winter. I must bookmark this thread. Thanks for sharing.

Your scarf looks terrific! I've admired this pattern for awhile but it looks difficult. Is this pattern within the realm of an advanced beginner?

 

[courier770]

The only stitch used in the entire pattern is the knit stitch. You must be able to do the cable cast on to make the picots that edge the scarf and you must be able to work short rows. So it is not difficult at all. It is a tedious pattern though so keeping track of rows is just about mandatory.

The rounded ends of the scarf are formed by knitting 4 "wedges" of 28 short rows. The "body" of the scarf is knit in wedges also, 11 rows to each wedge on each side of the scarf.

I did one in sequined yarn that came out fantastic. You'll get your money's worth from this pattern and whatever yarn you select..lots of hours of knitting enjoyment.

It's a good project to go to when frustrated with something else, since it's so simple.

That scarf is absolutely gorgeous. May I ask what yarn you used? Well worth the time you spent on it, wonderful job.

The yarn is not one that's available at retail locations. It's hand spun and hand dyed. There is a shop on Etsy that sells gradiant dyed yarn packs though. I used about 550 yards of two ply merino.

Beautiful scarf and lovely work. I really like how it lays around the neck smoothly without bunching up. Thanks for sharing your picture.
