28's Cousin 53! - Scarf version II (with photos)
by Lynne Ashton This is and adaptation of the 4 ply version of the 28 Row Scarf - Short Version This version came about because I was asked if "28" could be knitted in 4 ply and really it couldn't - it would have come out too thin. This then is the version for 4 ply!
