Notes

i used “Helen’s Double Chain Cast On” http://bit.ly/1VVNuP8
and will use the matching bind-off http://bit.ly/1K05j6k

This pattern has 3 charts A, B, & C. A&C are garter st ground lace edgings while B is a 33 st pattern that can be repeated to make a wider scarf or stole. the whole pattern has 36 row which is repeated until desired length. For this scarf i repeated the pattern 9x.

picts:
Top - pre-blocked measurement: 12-14 inch x approx 76 inch
2nd - shows 1 “repeat” of the pattern, with chart B knit 1x; measures 15in wide and about 7in height (not including .5in garter st border).

note
i had to make a few changes to the pattern for it to work for me.

first off: i knit across each chart 1x, though chart B can be knit more than once to make a stole.

here are the changes i made:

the cast-on:
added a +1 to st count formula

  • 10sts for right edge/chart A,
  • 34sts for center panel/chart B, &
  • 10sts for chart C

set up row:
skp, O, k8 (instead of - skp, O, k7) - because row 1 of chart C requires 10sts

return row instructions for Chart B:
it says - “work the stitches as they present…” -
“O” doesn’t really ‘present’; i purled them on the return row since “Ø” are to be knit.

Chart A:
rows 3, 15 & 27 - added “O” in the 3rd box from the right
