How it is knitted
Two pieces in K2, P2 rib, knitted back and forth on 4.5 mm. The scarf is cast on with 8 stitches and gains a stitch on every row, always at the same edge, up to 40 (44) stitches, so the end slants; it is knitted straight to 115 (119) cm from the cast-on edge, then decreased a stitch on every row at the same edge back to 8 stitches and cast off. The back panel is cast on with 52 (56) stitches and knitted to 23 (25) cm, “or as long as scarf end”. To finish, the scarf is crossed, short side up, and its ends are sewn to the sides of the back panel, narrow end down. In the photo the scarf stands round the back of the neck like a collar and the back panel sits across the lower back; the upper back is open, so there are no sleeves or armholes.
Design: Védís Jónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 25 (no. 16), Ístex.
