Notes

Pattern calls for a bulky, however this yarn matches guage of the original project.

This pattern is very easy even though it looks intricate. It’s a great interpretation of the sampler style that’s being seen more and more.

Before long, one can see what stitches are needed. The main thing is to put the yo’s in the right places at the beg and ends of rows.

I’ve done designs with extra yo’s that get dropped in the next row and it’s really fun to pull down and see your project move like that. It looks pretty, too.

The zigzag shaping of this design is modern and happens effortlessly- no constant incr and decr’ing.

This rust color isn’t for everyone, but my daughter loves fall colors like this one. Elected to make scarf a little wider than pattern.

Cast on 33 st. Added a few more rows in mesh sections to achieve same proportion as original design. Added a couple extra groupings of the double yo section for hems.

You can get the stitch pattern needed for the first mesh section by k2tog tbl or sl, sl, k2tog as an alternative to ssk psso as written.
