I created this shawl for my Swap pattern Lailai in Finland in Spring 2009. One of her favorite colors is pink. To test the pattern I used another type of yarn, to see how the design changed depending on the yarn and the length of the scarf. The finished size of the pink one is $22\times88~{\mathsf{c m}}$ ,whilethe grey-purplish one is $27\times74\,{\mathsf{c m}}$
Requirements:
Yarn: any type of yarn can be used for this type of scarf or cowl Pink version: Dolly Fine by Laines du Nord, 50 grs - 233 mts (1,76 ozs - 254 yrds), 2 strands held together Grey-purple version: Stripes by Laines du Nord , 100 grs - 179 mts (3,53 ozs - 196 yrds), 1 skein Needles: depending on the type of yarn used Pink version: size 4 mm (6 USA) Grey-purple version: $5.5\;\mathrm{mm}$ (9 USA)
Pattern:
it can be modified in its width by adding or not repetitions. For the two cowls shown in the pictures: Cast on 41 sts Knit the next 4 rows ■Row 5 -k 2, PM, (k2t, yo, k2) for 9 times, k1, PM, k2 ■Row 6 (and all even rows) -k2, purl, k2 ■Row 7 - knit all stitches ■Row 9 - k3, (k2t, yo, k2) for 9 times, k2 ■Row 11 - knit all stitches ■Row 13 - k4, (k2t, yo, k2) for 9 times, k1 ■Row 15 - knit all stitches ■Row 17- k5, (k2t, yo, k2) for 8 times, k4 Row 19 - knit all stitches Repeat rows 5-19 up to the desired length. The last repeat ends with row 17. Knit 4 rows before closing up the work. Weave in all ends. You might choose to wash it and pin it or you can just leave it more bulky and weavy. For the pink scarf I made 13 repetitions and for the second one 8 repetitions of the lace pattern.
You can also choose to add buttons to the scarf by transforming it in a cowl: you will use lace pattern as buttonholes. (Thank you Azzuka - http://azzuknits.blogspot.com for your amazing suggestion $\circledcirc$ 一
