CONSTRUCTION

• Scarf is worked circularly as a tube, beginning with a Provisional Cast On. The beginning and end are closed using Joinery Bind Off.

GAUGE

• 25 stitches and 28 rounds = 4″ in charted colorwork with Size A needle, after blocking

NEEDLES

Size A (for Colorwork)

• One 16″ circular needle* in size needed to obtain gauge listed
• Suggested Size: 4 mm (US 6)

Size B (for Single-Color Rounds of Stockinette Stitch)

• One 16″ circular needle*, one size smaller than Size A
• Suggested Size: 3.75 mm (US 5)

Due to significant variance among knitters, your colorwork fabric should be swatched and wet-blocked prior to knitting your scarf to determine whether or not Size B should be larger, smaller or equal to Size A. 

*32” circular needle can be used instead of 16” circular needle if using the Magic Loop method for working small circumferences in the round.

FINISHED DIMENSIONS

• 8″ [20.5 cm] width; 16″ [40.5 cm] circumference; 72″ [183 cm] long

Measurements taken from relaxed fabric after blocking.

Please note: the stitch patterns in this garment are charted only.

19 February 2013: (Version 2.0): 

We have corrected the written and charted instructions for the diagonal pattern sections, which are a 9-stitch repeat rather than a 10-stitch repeat as previously written. You will work the 10th stitch on the chart in that section only once, as the final stitch of the round.
