Call it Fair Isle.
Whatever. This month I've been immersed in that 2-color knitting technique, and I've loved it: so much fun to choose color and pattern.
This latest project was inspired by several stranded-knit tube scarves on Ravelry. I used colors in my worsted weight wool stash, and embarked on a search for knit chart ideas online and at our library.
Invested in a wonderful book, 200 Fair Isle Motifs: A Knitters Directory
by Mary Jane Mucklestone.
Here's the finished scarf.
The checked and striped ends provide options for "which side up".
I knit the scarf on 16-inch circular needles, US size 9.
Cast on 60 stitches and away you go!
