Merci Scar By Susan Rainey
I can't take credit for this very simple pattern, but wanted to get it onto Ravelry for people looking for a nice scarf pattern. The yarn is drop dead soft: it is Cascade di.Ve’ Autunno in Desert Shade (Color #34918, 98 yds/50 gms, $100\%$ Fine Merino). It is very soft with gentle variegation and a ragwool effect. I had trouble finding a stitch that would work because of the ragwool coloring — too much going on for many stitch patterns. The Seed Rib Stitch is mindless and perfect for a scarf because it does not curl and is reversible. The name “Merci' was coined because this was knit as a thank you gift for someone special.
Materials:
