Pattern Info:

Construction: Slanted Gansey scarf is worked flat from one end to the other.

Yarn: Any Sunday Knits 3 ply (light sport-weight) yarns including Nirvana (merino cashmere), Eden (merino), Angelic (merino angora) or Brigadoon (merino tweed); 246 yds (225 m) per 50 gm skein: 3 skeins.
Shown in Nirvana French Pink.

Substitute any light sport-weight yarn that works nicely to gauge: 725 yds.

Size: 10” wide by 80” long. Note that the width of the scarf measures much less than the width across each row worked due to the fabric’s bias.

The scarf’s size is easily modified. Make longer or shorter as you wish. And if you wish to modify the width, the pattern instructions provide notes to help you with that.

Techniques: Knit, purl only for the stitch patterns; increases and decreases - kfb, M1-p, k2tog, p2tog - are used only for bias edge and for a couple of transition rows.

Pattern includes: Written instructions, glossary, stitch patterns in both written and charted formats.
