Notes

Row #1 is the wrong side row.

Possible Errata:

• The last row of Chart B is 161 -- NOT 163.

• The measurement from tip to tip (60 inches) given in the pattern, must be wrong. If the middle section is 40 inches, then the two ends must add AT LEAST another 30, not including the fringe.


Ultra alpaca in this heather mix is probably not the best choice for this scarf since it obscures the beautiful cables a little. Still, I love the color and the feel of this yarn. Plus I had an extra skein and a half.

12/19: I finished Chart A. It was so fun to knit! This section reminds me of a bird’s wing.

12/21: I finished Chart B. time for some measurements.

Chart A (from tip to top excluding fringe) = 15”
Chart B = 6.75”

So if I knit the scarf according to the directions, the finished scarf should be about 63” before blocking excluding the fringe.

1/17 - I decided to knit an extra Chart B section since I’m getting more rows per inch with this yarn.
