Gathering Scarf
This is a pretty and fairly simple design, which I assess as being easy to intermediate in terms of difficulty.
One of its great beauties is that it only takes 1 ball of Kidsilk Haze and about 150 beads though you can easily make it wider. Three balls and adding to (but not tripling) the width would make you a fabulous evening throw.
Another of its charms is that being knitted on large needles – 6.5mm – it knits very fast. Once mastered, this will be a weekend project for many and not more than a week of pleasant evening work for most.
Finally, because ideally charms, like wishes, should rock up in threes, it is easily mastered and consists of only 4 pattern repeat rows, 2 of which are basically resting rows.
You will need:
6.5mm needles
1 ball of Rowan Kidsilk Haze
about 150 beads, size 6
Skills used:
casting on with the lace method
knitting and purling
knitting in beads (easy and fully explained)
Note: this design first appeared in my book ‘Little Luxury Knits’ now out of print, so if you have that book, you have this pattern.
