Cotton scarf

Here’s my progress so far on this top-down/sideways-knit cotton summer scarf. It might not look like I’ve gotten very far, but I’ve been busy preparing a couple of new designs to submit to an upcoming collection of scarves and shawls.

Hopefully one of the designs will be chosen, but regardless, at some point you’ll get to see them both!

The beginning section of this scarf was knit in garter stitch, and I continued until I used up the first ball of cotton variegated yarn. I then switched to another variegated color (containing some of the same colors as the first) and changed the stitch pattern to a simple feather-and-fan lace.

You’ll notice that there are some wavy lines forming, and that was the purpose of incorporating the feather-and-fan stitch pattern. When it’s completed, blocked, and photographed (next week) you’ll see the interesting shape this gives to the overall scarf.

I’ll also make the pattern available next week – so I guess I’d better get back to work on it!

Happy Knitting!
