Shetland Mantra Scarf
by Panka's Patterns
Recommended yarn: Katia Jaipur (2 ply cotton); depending on
how long a scarf you wish to knit about 1,5-2 skeins (approx. 400-430 meters)
Needles: 3,5 (U.S.
size 4)
Size: approximately 15cm x 160 cm without
blocking. If you like the elastic feature of the fan pattern, do not block the
shawl. If you prefer to block it, it will be about 20-25 cm broad.
The pattern is a multiply of 18 stitches +1st + 2 edging stitches. Cast on
55st +2 edging stitches for the described size (the 2 edginig stitches are not
included on the chart). If you want your scarf to be broader increase the numer
of stitches by 18 or 36st. Each increase of 18st adds 5cm to the width.
Knit 3 rows in garter stitch, then start the fan pattern according to the
chart. The grey part is one full pattern. Repeat it 2 more times ('...' on the
chart) then complete the pattern with the last stitch. Do not forget to add an
edging stitch on both sides!
When your scarf is long enough, finish with 3 rows of garter stitch and
bind off all stitches loosely.
Hint: You'll get beautifully smooth and
flexible edges if you knit the first and last stitches in each row as follows:
- at the beginnig: yo from front to back on the right (empty) needle, then
slip 1
- at the end of the 1st row: knit the last stitch
- begin the 2nd and all following rows as above
- at the end of the 2nd and all following rows: k2tog (knit the yo and the
slipped 1st stitch together).
