This scarf can be made with about 1/2 skein of each color.

The fabric is reversible and the edges do not curl. The eyelet motifs are reversible as well - front and back, right-side-up and upside-down present the same message. You also have the option of working from written out or charted instructions.

This design was inspired by and fits the criteria of the Scarves for Special Olympics Washington State Games. It is my hope that those who take advantage of the free download will make up at least one scarf for donation to a charitable cause.

It is a scarf, so gauge is not as important as your satisfaction with the resulting fabric’s drape. Needle size should be adjusted to get the purl-based garter stitch with the drape of your dreams.

Thank you to Cindy Harrison. She is the test knitter of my dreams.

Errata:

• Apparently, my great-grandmother’s terminology for cast on methods is not up-to-date (I suppose I should not find this surprizing since she passed in late 1973, just shy of 101 years of age) and my reference to cast on methods is confusing. After reviewing the video tutorials, I recommend use of the knit on, long-tail or double cast on methods for this scarf. I do not recommend use of the single or backward loop cast on methods for this scarf.
• In the written instructions, All rws 37 - 41 should read All rws 36 - 41. The charted directions are correct.
• In the written instructions, Rw 49 should be corrected to include the word twice after the second direction to (p 2, yo, p2tog). The charted directions were correct all along.
