PDF created with pdfFactory trial version www.pdffactory.com Free Pattern for November – Feather and Fan Scarf Feather and Fan is a great introduction to lace knitting. The simple structure can be used with any yarn and looks great with hand painted and striping yarns. Yarn suggestions - Noro Yarns, Karaoke, Tapestry, Lola, Soft Comfort Mohair and Liberty Boucle. Materials: 150 – 200 yards of yarn and recommended needle size for that yarn Cast on 24 sts Rows 1,2 & 3 knit Row 4 - k 3, ( k2tog)3 times, (yo, k1) 6 times, (k2tog) 3 times, k 3 Row 5 – purl Row 6 & 7 – knit Repeat rows 4 through 7 until scarf is desired length and approximately 3 yards remains.
