Jared Flood has created this pattern using a number of guernsey stitches linked together with a few rows garter and purl rows. I used an 8ply New Lanark wool from Scotland instead of the 10ply worsted yarn suggested, and a 5mm needle. The wool was coarse to knit with but softened up nicely after soaking. Blocked size is 36cmx188cm (14"x74")

Beautiful work, Kerry. You

Beautiful work, Kerry. You did a beautiful job. I like that the scarf is very wide too. I find that so many scarves bunch up or roll up under clothing our around the neck. Yours will lie flat and keep you nice and toasty. If it gets too warm for the Sydney weather, I'll be happy to take it off your hands for hiking in the fall and winter here in the Midwest of of the US. Well done, Kerry.

Kerry, I really like the scarf. You did a beautiful job - as always. It would be great for watching tv in the evenings for around the shoulders.
