Nutmeg is a large rectangular scarf knit on the bias (diagonally). Simple in construction, but using 6 different colors and two different yarn bases, in various changing stripes, creates a fun and whimsical piece. 

The pattern is beginner-friendly.

Yarn required:

Fingering weight sock wool, 400 yds (360 m) / 100 g each in 3 colors:

Fingering Color 1 (F1) x 100 g
Fingering Color 2 (F2) x 85 g

Lace weight kid mohair/silk yarn, 458 yds (420 m) / 50 g each in 3 colors:

Lace Color 1 (L1) x 50 g
Lace Color 2 (L2) x 50 g
Lace Color 3 (L3) x 50 g

Needles: US 5 (3.75 mm)

Gauge: holding Fingering and Lace together 22 sts x 30 rows in 4”x4”

Techniques used:

knit, purl, yarn over, K2tog (knit 2 stitches together, right leaning decrease), SSK (slip slip knit, left leaning decrease), M1L (increase by 1 stitch by Making 1 Left), M1R (increase by 1 stitch by Making 1 Right)

You will start knitting diagonally in the bottom right corner, increase on both sides on every right side row until you reach the needed width.

From then you will increase 1 st in the beginning of each right side row, and decrease 1 st in the end of each right side row, which will keep the scarf at the same width while growing in length.

Finally you will decrease on both sides on every right side row to create the top left corner.

Errata:

after forming the corner you should have 130 sts,
