Friday
By Vyvyan Neel http://nahappycamper.eponym.com/blog The inspiration for this scarf came from the traditional ldea of tying a silk square around the neck to add just the right touch to an outfit. Although the finished scarf doesn't resemble the silk square version, it gives a Similar effect. It can be made in a substitute yarn but the ones featured are incredible if you enjoy a touchyfeely relationship with fiber.
If arranged in just the right way, it could be an ascot but I like it rotated to the side just so. It could be lengthened if a longer scarf is preferred but more yarn should be purchased. The wrong side is almost as attractive as the right side. The scarf is knitted in two parts. The first part is started at the middle of the neck and worked toward the end point. Then the second part is started by picking up stitches where the first one began and worked the same as the first one. The edging resembles a picot trim but the bumps are a little larger So they're called Knubs. It takes only a little practice to get the simple technique down. So call t a Friday and Tie one on! \*This pattern was originally avallable online from Magknits, a website that published free knitting patterns. Sadly, that site IS no longer around but the pattern is stillfree to all who choose to download it from my blog or from Ravelry.com.
