Percy
and as soon as I got my hands on the famous stitch dictionary Ptsilised Koekirjad I knew I had to make a scarf. Because the colour and stitches have a romantic feel to it, the pattern is named after one of my favourite poets: Percy Bysshe Shelley. The scarf is not particularly difficult and the stitches flow intuitively, but the middle pattern requires some attention, because it is patterned on both RS and WS rows.
What you need to knit:
What you need to read:
Any laceweight (or fingering yarn). The scarf shown took about $350\;\mathrm{m}$ of Fyberspates Nef Lace in the colour Maple. Circular needles in your preferred size. The scarf shown was knit on a $3\mathrm{mm}/60\mathrm{cm}$ needle. Gauge isn't crucial for this project. Please be aware that adding repeats and/or using thicker yarn and bigger needles will increase the amount of yarn needed (and in a bigger scarf or shawl, obviously)!
The scarf shown measures about $120~\mathrm{cm}$ across and about $52\,\mathrm{cm}$ from base to tip. Each chart is worked twice in each row, on either side of the center stitch. The pattern repeat is outlined with a bold line. With the exception of chart B, which is patterned on each side, all WS rows are purled and not charted. Remember to always knit the three border stitches on either edge, slipping the first stitch of every row purlwise with the yarn in front very loosely. This pattern is modular and can easily be increased in size. Just remember the following: - Always work chart A a multiple of 4 times. - Repeat chart B any number of times, but always start with row 5 and end with row 27. - If you want bigger points on the edging, simply repeat rows 35 and 36 of the border chart a few more times.
