I was reading a Pendergast novel when the idea for this scarf occurred to me, monochrome bands of light and dark fleur di lis alternating with bands of light and dark XO’s. The colorful scrappy version is even more fun! I wanted the scarf to be drapey, so I used #7 needles with sport weight yarn.

The monochrome version is shown in the 9.5 x 49” size and the scrappy version is shown in the 9.5 x 60.5” size.

The pattern is worked in the same mosaic overlay garter stitch I used for “Mom’s Puzzling Scarf”. There’s a tutorial with a practice swatch and step by step photos at the end of that pattern. Just the abbreviated steps for the stitch are included in this pattern.
