Seaweed and Shells Scarf
Note: Toni, over at Stitchingir (htp:/tmooka.net/blogs/stitchingirlindex.php) has very kindly created the chart for the scarf. Notes on the making: I made this scarf by knitting two separate halves (make first half, place on holder. Then make the second half) and then joining them with a three-needle bind-off. Yes, grafting would work too but I haven't had a lot of luck with that and I didn't want to be practicing with mohair! It didn't occur to me until I was nearly finished with the second half that there might have been a better way of going about it. That would have been to provisionally cast on the stitches, knit down through 12 repeats of the pattern and bind off. Then, undo the cast-on, pick up the live stitches and knit down the other side for another 12 repeats. When I make this scarf again, I'll probably give this method a try. With the addition of another leaf panel and another razor shell patten (or two!),this could be expanded into a rather nice stole. There is a selvedge stitch on each side, which I slipped to get a chain edge. This is accounted for in the stitch count and in the pattern.
