Troubled Waters
“When you’re weary Feelin’ small When tears are in your eyes I will dry them all. I’m on your side when times get rough And friends just can’t be found.
Like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down. Like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down.”
- Paul Simon
This soft, sweet scarf is full of simplicity and turbulence. Because life has its ups and downs.
The ebb and flow of the simple rows and more complex rows has a lovely soothing rhythm to it.
Suitable for a novice knitter. It involves knitting, purling, a simple cable, and short rows – if you have never done cables or short rows before, this scarf is simple enough to learn on.
The particular yarn used is a limited edition homespun available on eBay, but this pattern would be suitable for a DK or sport weight yarn, preferably with a good halo and subtle color variation. One skein should be enough! Pictured scarf used 120 yards.
Happy knitting! - Judy
