Notes

Cast on 3 st and inc to 31 for a wider scarf. Because of the bias, it decreases in width and increases in length once on.

Joann Fabrics store leaflet calls this the Lavender Fields Scarf. Directions are very clear, however, photo shows fringe. Leaflet does not have fringe instructions.

This is a very simple yet beautiful design. Quick and easy. Can be made in two evenings or so.

The bias pattern is unusual and interesting. It’s tricky to get measurements because bias is unpredictable and dimensions change when scarf is on.

The scarf is reversible once completed, but during construction, it’s imperative to know RS (even rows) from WS (odd rows). Most hand knits have RS as odd rows and WS as even.

It’s light and airy even tho it looks heavy. Great gift idea.

If you want to make this design into a cowl, see fellow raveler, Amy’s, rolliaknit
Purple People Eater Cowl

To achieve her 3 x 3 rib with bias movement, cast on in multiples of 6 plus 1 st. If you want a zigzag pattern, add or subtract 2 st at desired intervals.

Made a couple other versions of this in Randy’s Staff Soapstone Thick & Thin Scarf and Robert T’s wife’s Swirly Swirl Cowl with great success.
