Thanks very much, looking forward to knitting this.  It is striking.

We do need to have a goog photo of the scarf, but this one took too much ink when I printed it!

I've seen a bobble scarf and liked it a lot but could not figure out how to make the bobbles look correct.  Thanks much for this pattern; I'm ready for it.

Very pretty!  Will enjoy knitting this sometime!

Grrr! I went clear through the survey, and I'm properly signed in, but the pattern will not download for me. This is a first for me, and it's definitely annoying. Wish I'd thought to grumble about this system on the survey. :o*

Thank you.

Inspiring weekend project, even have green yarn ready... color is so inspirational, so much for house cleaning this weekend.  I can think of several people who would love this as a gift.  Thanks

Re: Bobble Scarf

I am so excited to see this pattern.  Can't wait to knit it, think it may go to my mom, who enjoys getting my hand knitted items.  Thanks.

Very pretty scarf - will add to my list of 'to-dos'!

Thanks for the lovely pattern. I may know just the person who should receive this for Christmas. Or, I may just make it for me!

Very different and interesting design.   Thank you.

Looks interesting, will put this on my list of "todo".  I recently worked with the Louet Gems and loved the yarn.CarolJ

I can't get a good idea of what the project looks like because the photo obscures the pattern/design.

Photo is toooo small to really _see_ the project. No matter how free, if I can't see it, I won't DL it.

Thanks for the pattern..I wish there were better pictures of the scarf, but looks interesting enough.  Added to my queue.

I think the design is lovely.  Thank you for offering it to us for free.  I appreciate the fact that Knitting Daily offers free patterns.

Very pretty design.

Thank you for this pattern. It sounds beautiful but can't really tell from the photo--first thought it was some kind of neck/shoulder shawl.  But the description cleared that up.  I like trying new things and this will be fun.

I didn't print the picture because of the amount of ink it takes.  Would like to see patterns like this laid out instead of on a model and maybe a small picture of it.

Perhaps I missed it on the survey but then again, perhaps it was not asked:  I would appreciate better photos of the knitting prokects with the capacity to enlarge the pictures to get a better idea of the project.

Despite the title, I too first thought this was some kind of shawl - the way it's draped in the photo hides the edges well enough to make the actual shape difficult to distinguish.  Another photo, or just a different photo, would have helped. I like the look of this, as best I can tell, and hope to make time to try it.

On the page of the 'faux bobble', the botton has the symbol and says "twisted 4/4 ribbed cable (see box below)" -- the pdf-file I have does NOT have a box below to view -- thus, I am not sure exactly how the 'twist' works.  Please help as I'd love to make this for my mom.  Thanks!

I also thought it was a shawl. Great idea to have larger photos or a "click to enlarge" button. Also multiple views would be good to. Thanks for another lovely pattern, this should work up quickly.

I love it.  Thats a classy looking scarf.  I, too, thought it was a shawl at first.  Gotta check my stash!

I completed the survey, but I do NOT like bobbles.  

What a fun, challenging scarf this is. I've never thought to twist the cable stitches like that before. Ann Budd has some of the greatest patterns to knit. Thanks so much!

Tanks very much

I live in rural Florida.  So, not really appealing for me.

I will be doing this for a friend for christmas Thanks

I agree that I wish the photo was a little larger to show the detail better, but it still looks interesting enough.  Thank you.

Now, do I give it away or keep it?????

Thanks for the pattern.  I am totally NOT a scarf person but maybe my daughter will like to try making it.

This scarf looks great!!  I am adding it to my list of Christmas gifts to make.  Thank you for sharing it with us.

I don't have the box below the graph either.  Are there no written directions?  Just a graph to work from?  Oooh I hope not!

Gorgeous! Thank you so much! :)

Thank you very much, this will make a nice CHRISTmas gift for someone on my list, Im sure. Katee N Tx

I really like this one, I will make one I'm sure, but it would have to be in a non-wool fiber as my DD is allergic.  That will be fun tho, to find something that else that will work...

Thank you! Katee N Tx

For those who wanted a bigger photo, if you choose " download"  , the picture there is very big and clearly shows the pattern. And yes, I can see why this would take a huge amount of ink. Anyway, it is a great looking scarf.

I forgot to put on my survey that front AND back views of patterns would be appreciated very much.  Also dark-colored yarn makes the stitch pattern hard to see.  Thank you for offering this free pattern but I don't really care for it. It would have been helpful to see a photo of the model wearing it a different way--more like a scarf, than a shawl maybe.

Great look. Can't wait to get started, thank you once again

And by the way...she is resting in a rocking chair, made in Costa Rica or I'll eat my hat! Can tell them a mile away, wonderful rockers. Thanks for the beautiful scarf pattern! My blog about living in Costa Rica is:  hopetoliveincr1day.blogspot.com

Perfect Christmas gift!

Thank you...

I haven't downloaded any patterns recently but might like to try this one.  As an overseas member of knitting daily, we don't have skeins of yarn over here. We buy yarn in 25 gm, 50 gm. 100 gm and 200 gm balls.   What is a skein's equivalent?

Thank you for the pattern. I love Ann Budd designs.Too heavy and warm for San Diego- but I look forward to seeing the results of the survey.

thanks! this is gorgeous and i can't wait to make one for my niece!

This is a clever little pattern which will knit up in any yarn. Thank you

Once you download this pattern, a lovely full screen picture will be quite clear showing edges & bobbles nicely.  To print picture without taking too much ink, set printer to 'draft' mode, for the pic. only. It will print a light,  CLEAR, DRY picture, quickly!  :-)

Nice cozy looking photo shot for marketing the yarn... but it doesn't really show what the scarf looks like. I too thought it was a shawl at first glance, or is it supposed to look like a bib? The pattern photo shot is BIG and my printer doesn't offer draft mode options so I doubt I'll ever print that page out. Stitch number references added to the bottom of the chart would be nice... am I being too picky about a free pattern?

I think it is a great picture and pattern, it is free.  I think I have yarn that will work so I am off to get it ready.

Thanks again for a great site.

Beautiful pattern. Looks easy enough to follow. (Even for a knitting "newbie" like me!)

hmmm, my version of Adobe (the most current one) won't open the file, gives me an error message that the file may be corrupted or file type may not be supported.

thanks for any help you can give me with this, the scarf is lovely and I'd love to make it!

thanks,

judith

I'm with the others who want a really good picture.  A 'fashion shot' is fine but I want to see the garment, in good detail, before I bother getting it.  I don't mean such incredibly good detail that I don't need the pattern anymore - but good enough that I can appreciate what the pattern has to offer.  Regs...

I love Ann Budd's designs, and this one is no exception. But Ladies--it's a free pattern.  Say "thank you". If you don't want to knit it, then don't and exit out. Jeeze!

I'm not really interested in scarf patterns - toe-up socks might have been good, as that's a technique I want to learn. Sorry, I won't bother downloading this one.

I completed the survey, but count me in the anti-bobble class!!!

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, absolutely without doubt. On this blog I was dissed a while ago for saying I didn't like something in a gallery :(    ... BUT you don't look a gift horse in the mouth, smile nicely and say thank you very much...you may just really love the next one!

try Cat Bordhi's sock patterns. They are easy and quick AND  interesting enough to make the second sock!

The ladies who are having trouble downloading the .pdf files might like to try clicking on "Help" in their Adobe Reader file menues and seeing if they have the latest version of the programme.  There has been a very recent update which once downloaded, might solve their problem.

Thank you for this and all the other lovely and interesting patterns you provide for us! I will be interested to read the results of the survey!

Thank you

Thanks for the pattern

Thank you - as always for the free patterns.  Although initially I may not find them appealling, I do save them in my ever-growing knitting patterns file. Later on (days, months, years) when I am looking for a new pattern, it may just be the one to inspire me !

Thanks for the beautiful pattern.  I wonder if you can include more of a description of the yarn used in patterns.  Or possibly a link to a website.  Since I go to my stash first, I am constantly searching the web for  the specified yarn so I can see if I have something to substitute.

This yarn comes in five weights ranging from fingering to chunky - not sure which was intended in this pattern?

Thanks for a beautiful pattern!

For Sage "in rural Florida"; how about making it in bamboo, cotton, or silk?

Thanks for the pattern. Added it to my never ending stash of patterns.  Never know when I may need something you have given us.  Appreciate it.

Very nice scarf.  It may be a Christmas gift, in a different color.  Thank you.
