Something I have thought about some time, how to make pleats. This is my result.

This is my first pattern, pls. give me any feedback you migh have for me to improve the pattern if necessary.

I think the pleat technique makes simple things look special.

The yarn and needles are not crusial, the pattern will be suitable for most fingering and sport weight yarns.

To get best result I recommend to knit loosely as the drape of the pleats will be best this way and it is easier to pick up the stitches when making the pleats.

The scarf can be adjusted in many ways. In the pattern I have written directions for 3 sizes, but no. of repeats can easily be adjusted, both lengthwise and width.

Happy knitting.
