Baklava Scarf
BAKLAVA SCARF:
The Scarf is a simple, SIMPLY GORGEOUS, double sided / double knit adventure. Designed by Elin Melchior.
It is a great introductory project for the technique as the patterning is not overly complex. The Monokrom color gradient and the Uneek stripes work in stunning combination to create a gorgeous fabric and color adventure. These two colorways we nicknamed Pistachio - Rose. This would work well in Colorways with no overlapping colors; best if at least one color is a solid, with enough contrast from the second to see the pattern.
YARN:
The Baklava Scarf is designed to be knit in fingering weight yarn. Fingering weight gives you a nice fabric that is not too dense and wraps and lays around your neck perfectly. It would work up well in almost any fingering or light fingering weight yarn.
Pattern Advantages:
•Charted (p.4) and written (p.5)
•Colors are never carried more than one stitch
•Symmetrical left-right so that you can always read the pattern in the same direction no matter which side you are on.
•Symmetrical up-down so that you can easily read your knitting rather than the chart.
