very lovely color combination, alpaca shows off the stitches beautifully. A real pleasure to spin too!

Good Job Miss Lisa!

The stitches look gorgeous... now to decide if it is happening for myself for the fall wardrobe or for a christmas present!

I was wondering if there was a photo of the scarf laid out as if to block it. I'm having a hard time picturing the dimensions and the stitch pattern. It looks intriguing around the model's neck, but I'd like to know what I'm getting myself into. I mean, 31" wide at the top of the triangle - the widest point - and then 26" from that ( I'm presuming we're making a 'T' here) line to the point? That makes for a long pointy shawl - sew up the side edges and you'd have a stocking cap (well, almost - they're 21" wide).

As Hennie, is there a picture of the scarf for blocking?   I didn't notice a rating (beginner, intermediate....) or am I not looking in the right place?   I'm a crocheter, have knitted in the past (a complete striped baby sweater set with hat, "soaker", etc so I CAN follow directions) but am wondering if this is "too much" for me to tackle.  Any suggestions?  Thanks!

As Hennie and Barb said... is there a flat out picture of the scarf? I think I understand the pattern but a flat picture would be helpful. Can that be done?

Thanks for the photo, Lisa, but could you double check the measurements for me, please? I'm wondering if the 31" wide at the widest point was a typo and should have read 51" instead.

Hi - Love the pattern, but I'm having trouble with the gauge!  The website for Alpaca Yarn Co says that Classic Alpaca is a DK weight yarn, and since I couldn't find any here in Santa Fe I'm using another DK weight, Lavold's Silky Wool.  For this yarn, if i cast on 12, I get about 3 inches, not 4, and I've tried it on size 8 and 10.5 needles - so I'm wondering if anyone has any guidance on this.

 

thanks -Ivy

I am super confused.  Do I start with brioche st or garter? been trying to figure it out, but having a difficult time.  Would love to try and tackle this, as I love the look and a challenge.  Help please?
