Beautiful Pattern for a Scarf (updated, offset)
Derived from the Project Gutenberg version of Exercises in Knitting by Cornelia Mee.
The main changes I've made to this scarf are:
- Changing the k2tog-tbls (and similarly placed k2togs) into ssks.
- Decreasing before the centre pattern (and increasing after it) so the 9 st border lines up more directly with the 16 st centre pattern. For this version, the border chevrons are offset from the centre diamonds.
- Adding partial repeats to make the overall pattern more left-right symmetrical.
- Adding another repeat of row 15 (as row 27) to finish the topmost diamonds in the centre section.
