Pretty! I think I have some yarn that would be perfect for this! I think there is a typo in the pattern regarding what size needle to use. You have listed a US 10, but from the picture, it looks like a smaller needle was used. Not sure what size should be used. Thanks.
Thank you....I have corrected the needle size. I appreciate you letting me know. Knit on!!!
In row 7 there is no * point at which to start the repeat. I'm very anxious to start this pattern and have searched everywhere for it. Please let me know where to start the repeat.
Thank you
This is corrected. Thanks for the info.
What is the finished length for this scarf?
The one I made finished at 9" wide and 84" long.
I am eager to try this pattern too, but I don't understand this sentence in the bind off instructions:
"Cast 2 sts to the end of the needle using the knitted cast on."
Does this mean cast on two stitches before binding off five?
Thanks!
Hi there. The bind off written is for a picot edge. You have to cast on two stitches then slip them and bind off to get the little points. If you do not want you do this, you can bind off loosely. I will update the pattern to say so. Thanks. Good luck.
what a lovely scarf! Thank you for sharing it, it's going onto my to do list for next Christmas - always welcome an excuse to shop for more perfect yarn, lol
I am doubling the width to make a wrap for the office. I'm a fairly new knitter & your stitch definitions are great, the pattern easy to follow, and best of all, the repeats are easy to memorize. Thanks for sharing your wonderful lace pattern!
Happy to pay someone to knit it for me- I can knit-but only basic patterns- this looks a little scary. If there is anyone out there that would be willing to knit one-pls email me and we can negotiate price etc.
Cheers.

From ravlery "I LOVE that this pattern is knit the length of the project, not the usual short rows of the width. It enables you to memorize the pattern for that row rather quickly and just sit & knit. Plus, it also feels like you are accomplishing more when you have a long row of knitting done! I made the scarf a bit longer & doubled the pattern’s width to be used as a wrap for the office. This is a beautiful pattern that was easy to memorize & use."
i love this pattern but was wondering how many stitches i should us to knit it horizontally?
Hi there and thanks. It just depends on how wide you would like it. I would do a swatch for gauge. Once you know that, decide how wide and you can figure your stitches from there. Just a guess but it will probably be between 55 and 75 stitches. Enjoy!
I was gifted with 2skeins of quivit yarn when we were in Alaska last year, and have stashed it because I hadn't found a great pattern to show it off. I really like this one... would quivit be a good choice?
Thanks
Absolutely. This was made with fingering weight so just check your gauge and go for it.
Hello, I want to know the name and color of the yarn used and how many skeins were used. It's such a beautiful scarf!
Hi. Lovely pattern, can't wait to go buy yarn for it. Did you use straight or circular needles for it? Thanks.
Mili.....thank you. The yarn was my own handspun.
Earthstar......thank you...I did use circulars. Good luck...enjoy.
I'm making this right now. And I totally love it. Thanks so much for sharing
Thank you Sharon...enjoy!
I have just finished this and I am in love. I have actually done this in 3 different yarn weights from fine to worsted and it is absolutely beautiful in all 3 I used. I will say that a deep jewel tone in color is stunning if using a solid color of yarn (I used one that was named Boysenberry). I also used a yarn that had a slight metallic dimension to it that really made the pattern pop in amazing ways! I am a beginning knitter and was not intimidated by this at all. Very easy and relaxing to do!
Thank you so much for your comment. I'm so glad to hear you like the pattern and have tried so many options. You have made my day!
I am always looking at scarf patterns that can be converted into a shawl pattern. Because my yarn is a solid color, I am going to try using this pattern by working horizontally instead of vertically. Your yarn is gorgeous but I have a solid purple (in fingering weight 1) from a shawl I gave up on that I want to use and think I will prefer the shorter rows to the lengthwise ones. Might add a metallic purple thread to jazz it up a bit if I can find the right color.
