Pay What You Can (PWYC): In an effort to find a balance between more financial accessibility and sustainable pricing, I now offer a “Pay What Works” model. This allows for financial flexibility while still valuing and respecting the work and energy I and others provide in the making of this pattern. The price shown on Ravelry is the “true” value of the pattern that best reflects the work put into creating this design.

To purchase the pattern at a price point that is more accessible to you, use the coupon code at checkout listed next to the price point. The prices indicate the price you will pay, not the discount amount. No coupon code is needed for the highest price point.

Description

Long roads are ahead and if ever you’ve tried to sleep half-upright in the hard seat of a coach bus or attempted to curl up in the passenger seat on your way home for the holidays you’ll appreciate the clever construction of this scarf.

The length of the scarf can be tucked into a convenient pocket, trading style for comfort with just a few folds.

This scarf is made using a combination of knitting flat and in the round along with colour changes and a pair of playful cables so you can always catch your zees.

Sizing

Approx: 8 inches by 170 inches
The length is variable as you can always add more repeats. Adding more rows may result in your not being able to fit the whole thing into the pocket.

Yarn

Aran; 100% Merino; 50g/99yds (91meters)

Main Color (MC): Ash (5 skeins)

Construction

This pattern uses a combination of knitting flat and knitting in the round in order to create the pocket. I would not recommend using magic loop for this one simply because it’s tricky to split the stitches.
