Shaped Scarf
This piece is based upon one of my favourites from The Knit Stitch. I knew that beginning knitters needed a simple scarf, but triangles need to be fairly large, and rectangles are awkward to wear. So my plan became to knit a triangle—to sit at the neck—with rectangular tails to wrap. This one is fairly similar with a slight change to the cast-on and to the shaping (to give it a slight curve).
The original was knit in a no-longer-available ribbon. This one uses hand-dyed yarns, a fingering and a mohair, run together. The result is a lovely fabric in a complex colour. (If you find a single yarn that gets gauge, that will work too! You will only need 310 yds if using a single yarn.)
