PATTERN STORY
I came up with this pattern for my Mysterious Swirl Sweater. I had some leftover yarn, and thought it would be a good idea to have a fully charted, more approachable iteration of the design.

I was calling the knit my swirl, but I knew that was not the final name. I heard the 1995 Peter Andre hit ‘Mysterious Girl’ and knew the design had to be named after that.

SKILLS NEEDED
Casting on, cable knitting, casting off.

This project is suitable for an intermediate knitter.

CONSTRUCTION
The scarf is knit flat from beginning to end

YARN
Blue Sky Fibers Suri Merino
150 m / 164 yds per 100g

Pattern uses 400g of yarn (4 skeins)

GAUGE & NEEDLES
Gauge is 25 sts / 26 rows per 10 cm / 4 in pattern with 4mm / US6 needles in chart pattern.

Gauge is not important for this project, but it will affect the drape and size of the final scarf.
