Inspiration Comes In Waves

This stitch is no secret; you probably come across it already. It’s called “Feather and Fan”, and it can be found in sweaters, skirts, and throws, among other things. There’s even a way to do it in crochet.

I thought I’d post this pattern regardless, because it’s one of my favorites so far. It’s perfect for beginners: easy to knit up, doesn’t take very long, and looks beautiful when finished. It especially makes a great gift for Mom or Gran-Gran.


Feather and Fan Scarf

MATERIALS:
Size 8 needles
About 300 yds of bamboo yarn (or silk, for that extra snuggly feel)

DIRECTIONS:

CO 42 sts
Knit 6 rows (3 garter ridges on each side)

Row 1: (RS) K3, * (K2tog) 3 times, (YO, K1) 6 times, (K2tog) 3 times . Repeat from * once, end K3.
Row 2: Knit.

Row 4: K3, P36, K3.

Repeat these 4 rows to desired length, end with Row 1 then knit 6 rows. Bind off loosely.

Alternating increases and decreases give it that signature wavy drape.
