Season 18 Pattern
The following pattern starts at the bottom left and ends on the bottom
right. The numbers given here are the lines seen in the finished product.
The actual rows knitted would be twice these amounts. See an explanation
of this here. The very thin stripes shown
here are all 1.
- Tassels: The tassels should consist of the orange and
burgundy colors only. (no purple) They should be placed very close
together and should be about 4 inches long.
- Kneedles: This scarf should be knitted with US#7 or US#8
needles.
- Width: The scarf should be about 12 inches wide. It should
be 60 stitches wide.
- Length: The scarf when unstretched should touch the
ground on both sides and make a waist-length loop. When stretched
(with blocking) it should make an almost ground-length loop.
- Edge: One problem I have had with this scarf is the edges.
This scarf has many more color changes than the others and you
end up with hundreds of strands which are very hard to weave in
without overlapping. This weaving also takes ages.
Someone emailed me with a possible solution to this problem. They
said that instead of cutting the yarn after each small stripe,
you should just put the yarn down and begin knitting with the
next color, then just keep switching them until that two-color
section is finished. Like this:
Although I haven't tried this technique, it makes perfect sense!
Thanks to the person who emailed me this info. (Sorry, I can't
remember who it was!)
If you'll notice on Tom's scarf there is a thin orange border
on one side. I believe this was a crocheted border. (This can
be done very easily after the scarf is finished.)
