Many thanks to hermosaknitter who spotted the error (no right hand decrease to keep the sides straight!)
Apologies and thanks.

Scarf which starts with a mitre square, and then has two long pieces knitted from it, which echo the mitre pattern.

Worked in garter stitch (with one purl stitch every other row for emphasis), using decreases and yarn over, the fabric created is both light and squishy.

The pattern is a recipe/guide, as it can be adapted to any size. The original was made in Alpaca Select Kusi Fine (4ply/fingering weight) and created a scarf that is 8” x 80”

Note - September 2018. While every care has been taken to make sure that the pattern is right, it has not been test knitted. If anything appears to be wrong, or is unclear, please get in touch and I will endeavour to improve the written pattern.
