My colorful fair isle scarf
** Please note: pattern is written in English **

** Techniek: rond breien. Niveau: gevorderd **
This scarf with many, many fair isle patterns was a pleasure to knit! I couldn’t stop knitting, because I wanted to see how the next pattern would look like!
The pattern has 11 pages and has more than 40 fair isle patterns (motifs)! These motifs are charted with symbols, so you can print the pages in black & white.
Size: 6,5 x 48 inch / 16 x 122 cm) (measured lying flat) (you can make the scarf longer if you want, just repeat the motifs you liked the most).
Stitches used: stockinette stitch (knit all stitches in the round), knit 2/purl 2 for the ribbing.
Supplies:
- Scraps of 100% wool, I used Drops Baby Merino in 21 colors, but you could use less colors.
- Circular knitting needle size 4 US, 16 inch long / 3,5 mm, 40 cm long
- Stitch markers
- Tapestry needle
You can use as many colors you like, so you don’t have to use 21 colors! Just go through your stash and pick the colors you love. I would recommend to use at least 8 different colors. You could use colors in one color range, such as all blues, greens etc. But light and dark grey, black, white and a touch of yellow or pink would also be lovely! Make sure you have enough contrast between the colors you are using per pattern.
Enjoy picking your colors and enjoy the knitting!
You also can use acrylic, cotton or mix yarn!
Techniques: knit in the round, stranded colorwork (the techniques are not explained in this pattern but you can find many instruction video’s on the internet!).
Happy Knitting!
I have added some pictures of the scarf Linda made (thank you for sending me your pictures!), she added some different patterns and used left over yarn from her stash. The scarf looks lovely!
