Notes

This is my first yarn in the TFQ Year in Colour! The colours are amazing!
The pattern was for a deep triangular shawl but since I don’t really wear that type of shawl (I recently frogged two) I decided to make an asymmetrical triangular, boomerang style scarf.

This is my pattern that I modified.
Modifications - I added a couple of wider bands of garter lace (3 garter lace rows with a plain -RS- knit row between each one).
I also finished with 5 rows of garter lace (again with a plain knit row between each one).
I chose a picot bind off - cast on 2 stitches (knit cast on), bind off 5 stitches.
The modifications of more eyelets and picot bind off were to mimic the pattern Tanis designed for this yarn (Wex Shawl).

5 grams left. The yarn is incredibly soft.
The scarf blocked out to about 75”/190cm.
I added 3” tassels.
