Simplicity at its finest. Sometimes an accessory doesnt have to be intricate and difficult to make in order to look elegant. This is one of those accessories. This is made up using basic stitching and is so easy even a beginner should be able to complete it. Looks like a great fashion item for any outfit.

Looks like a lovely scarf. However I don't quite understand the yrn notation. Is it supposed to add an additional stitch because three rows down you pass the stitch over two stitches. I would like to knit up a sample to see how it looks. It looks so elegant in the photo. Scarves are always needed in the winter and this would look good as part of an outfit and also over outerwear.

It's not clear how many skeins of this yarn is needed to complete the project. The yarn, btw, is discontinued, but I found out it's 25 g and 177 yd per skein.

I did this in Patons lace, you only need 4 balls, fewer ends to join in and much more budget friendly. My daughter did it with Kidsilk Haze but it wasn't the glamour, it did not have the sequins, it came out just as nice but costly.

I could never write as poetically about this scarf as The Designing Peng uin has, but I agree! I'm sure the yarn and color has something to do with that. Excluding the sad/mad look of the model, the scarf looks like it has warm secrets and makes me want to wrap up in it to see if I could discover them. Off the poetic mode, is there another yarn that would work as well? Hopefully something less expensive?

this scarf does indeed have charisma it almost speaks to the viewer about parties, walks in the fall leaves, spring evenings, and winter evenings - and don't ignore its whispers about winter evenings a gathering of friends, a fire in the fireplace, you and your scarf setting the tone for a wonderful party. It is timeless, not tied to a season or an hour. Another wonderful design
