Rivenhall
The Rivenhall scarf is knitted in just one skein of fingering weight yarn. The lace pattern is specially designed to show off hand painted and variegated yarns. It also looks excellent in gradient yarns.
Rivenhall can be made longer or shorter as desired, so this pattern is ideal for precious skeins of hand-dyed yarn.
The lace sections of the design are flanked by lines of slanting stitches that draw the colours of the yarn into angled panels to show off the variegation. Twisted decreases help the colours stand out along the slanting lines.
The pattern contains charts and line by line written instructions.
Rivenhall has a Low Vision Accessible version. This version is written in 24 point Arial in black text and it has no italics. All of the directions are fully written out.
A couple of unusual decreases are used to help show off variegated yarns to best advantage. There are fully explained in the pattern and can be substituted with standard, simple decreases if preferred.
The design is inspired by the direct and, at times, abrupt nature of Charles Rivenhall, the hero of the Georgette Heyer novel The Grand Sophy.
