This is a charted-pattern for knitting the melody line of the song “Shenandoah” into a two-panel scarf. The charted image is knitted onto the front panel of the scarf using stranded color work, and a back panel is knitted separately using plain stockinette stitch. The two panels are then seamed together, like a sandwich. Alternatively, the chart could be worked onto a scarf using a double-knitting technique.

This pattern is based on an arrangement of the song written in E flat. The song has been transposed into a musical key (treble clef, key of C), which keeps the knitting centered on the musical staff. This makes the knitting easier and keeps the scarf symmetric.

Note:
-Treble Clef is more common (to the non-musician) and represents music appropriate for the piano’s right hand, flutes, oboes, soprano voices, alto voices and tenor voices.
-This pattern is also available in bass clef (key of B Flat), which represents music appropriate for the piano’s left hand, bassoons, trombones, tubas, bass guitar and bass voices.

Techniques: swatching, casting-on, binding-off, working stockinette stitch flat, stranded color work OR double-knitting, joining yarn, weaving in ends, seaming.

Please be sure to download both…
1) a set of directions: 2-page PDF including a materials list, diagram and photos.
2) the chart: 10-page PDF in treble clef.

This pattern has not been test knitted because, frankly, knitting a ten-page chart is a lot of work. :)
