This is a narrow scarf worked with an illusion pattern of a feather or leaf. The design is worked twice, once from bottom to top, then from top to bottom to create a mirror image. Additional length could be added by increasing the number of rows between the repeats.

The scarf requires approximately 200-225 yards (183-206 m) of each of two colors, one dark and one light. The sample used one ball of Georges Picaud Alpaga and about half a ball of the Noro Kureyon Sock. The design is easier to see when worked with smooth, contrasting colors.

This pattern includes two charts - one with all the rows charted, the other with only alternate rows charted.

Five stitch markers are recommended.
