Reptile Scale Scarf
Description:
A scarf made with a modular knitting technique. You’ll work only with one element (module) at the time. Scarf is made with triangle elements, and when they are connecting to each other, they form shell shapes that are reminiscent of reptile scales. That is how the name of the pattern was born.
Each element is knitted with garter stitch, not even one purl stitch is required for this project.
The pattern describes specific numbers of elements that are used to make a specific size of the scarf (if you follow the gauge exactly) but you can always customize your project. You can make it longer/shorter by changing the number of elements in one level, or make it wider/narrower by changing the number of levels.
Skills:
You’ll need to know how to knit, do simple decreases, pick up sts on the side of the work, do knitted cast on.
Materials:
You’ll need 800 yds (730 m) of fingering yarn, sample made with 2 skeins of Yarn Bee Authentic Hand Dyed 100% Merino wool 400 yds (365 m)/100 grams.
Needles size US 6 (4 mm) straight or circular needles at least 8’’ long, short straight needles will be great, because you’ll be working with no more than 30 sts and with lots of turning back and forth.
Notions: marker and tapestry needle
Gauge: 24 sts and 48 rows = 4” (10 cm) in garter stitch
Size: One size, finished size 7” (18 cm) wide and 7.5’ (230 cm) long
