Colourway Basics Feather-light scarf/stole Width and length of scarf will vary with yarn used and your knitting tension. Scarf approximately 35cm x 225 cm ( 35" x 81" ) For a stole, add 18 or 36 sts which gives about 6.5 or 13 cms extra width,and a little less length ( Note: pattern repeat is 18 sts, you can use this pattern for throws/blankets etc by adding multiples of 18 sts up to the required width, using a yarn and needle size appropriate for the item, a large blanket is probably best knitted in a 4-ply or DK yarn but a sofa throw could go thicker - you could also knit a thicker scarf using a 4-ply or DK but too chunky a yarn won't allow sufficient pattern repeats for the design to be effective ) Materials: 4 x 25g balls of Katia Concept Concept Silk Mohair Stripe.Knits as Kidsilk Haze.
