Latvian Stars is a richly colored double-layered warm scarf knit in the round on 3.25mm/US3 needles with approximately 750m/820yds of Jamieson’s of Shetland Spindrift yarn.

The stitch pattern is a variation of a traditional Latvian mitten pattern in two color stranded knitting, with accents of a third color twinkling on every seventh row.

Dimensions of sample shown:
approximately 105cm/41.5ins by 19cm/7.5ins

This pattern offers a good illustration of “color dominance” in stranded knitting:
the dark MC and red CC have an equal number of stitches in the chart but the red stitches are more prominent in the knitting because the MC is stranded above the CC
(i.e. on the WS the MC floats on any row are closer to the needle than the CC floats)
