Gauge: 24 sts & 52 rows = 10cm / 4” over Four Row
Seed Stitch on 2.75mm needles after blocking.
Needles: 2.75mm / US 2 circular needle, at least
60cm / 24” long

Note: Although worked flat, the scarf requires a circular needle in order to work each row twice in the same direction before turning.
Always use a needle size that will result in the
correct gauge.

Notions: Small crochet hook, scissors, yarn bobbins
(optional), tapestry needle

Notes: The tartan effect of this shawl is accomplished by a combination of seed stitch, intarsia and by working each RS and WS row twice by sliding the stitches back to the other end of the circular needle.
