This pattern has not been made by anyone but me, and I only made it once, so if you make it and find any tricks or tips, please let me know!

The chart uses some slightly homemade definitions for symbols, to match the slightly homemade variations on stitches used. In order of ascending height, this pattern used:
UK term (US term) Abbreviation, symbol on chart
Chain (Chain) ch, 0
Slip Stitch (Slip Stitch) ss .
Double (Single) dc, +
Half Treble (Half Double) htr, plain T
Treble (Double) tr, T with one extra bar
“Half Double Treble” (“Half Treble”) hdt, T with two extra bars
Double Treble (Treble) dtr, T with three extra bars

Gauge not important. My tension is apparently quite tight, so you may end up with a slightly larger scarf, using slightly more yarn, than I did.

Yarns used:

• Chunky Orange: about 150g (one and a half balls of Hayfield Baby Chunky)
• Black DK: about 50g (half a ball probably of Robin Double Knit I had hanging around, not sure if I might have used some from the ball already)
• White DK: about 60g (less than 3 25g balls of white DK I got free from magazines)

Variations:

• You may like to do this pattern as I intended to do, with chunky black yarn, rather the double held DK I improvised with. The double DK did give a nice depth to the black sections as it’s slightly thicker and denser than the plain chunky yarn, so YMMV.
• If you don’t mind weaving in all those ends, it’s quite a smart generic tiger scarf with no edging. I hate ends weaving, hence edges!
• About half way through I wondered if it might be nicer with five rows of orange to each row of black, but I was too lazy to go back.
