A Scarf for My Sister

This is a fan and feather pattern. The wool yarn is Andes yarn from Chile. This brand comes in variegated two color. I used this yarn in my sweater vest. I used size eight needles. The scarf took one and half skeins.

Cast on 29 stitches.
Row 1: K2, yarn forward, K 4 (K2tog) twice. K4. yarn forward. K1 yarn forward. K4 (K2tog) twice. K4, yarn forward. K2.
Row 2: K2. Purl to last 2 sticthes. K2.

Row 3: Knit

Rows 4-6 : Repeat rows 1-3
Repeat these six rows until the scarf is the desired length. End with rows 1 and 2. Bind off.

I also used this pattern repeated twice (cast on 58 stitches) using Lily Sugar'n Cream Cotton Yarn to make some handtowels. The towel in the middle and the one on the right are knit in this pattern. Each of these towels required two balls of Sugar'n Cream Cotton Yarn.


The towel on the left is in the same pattern stitch I used on my sweater vest - which is almost finished except for a neckband.

Row 1 : (WS) K3, sl1 wyif, (K4, sl 1 wyif) to last 3 stitches, end K3.
