Knit simply straight following the continuous repeats, I had the yarn and stitches dance into peaks and valleys with a lovely zigzagged edges... what was most cool is that the make up of this is so easy.. yet it has an intricate landscape. Rhythm of lace making, which is not very elaborate, but can be a great training for your short-term memory.
In the end it had to become more than just a scarf.. By using several hook and eye closures this fabric is manipulated, morphed and naturally expanded its wearability.
Scarf
Long cowl - close the loop
Short cowl - twisted it once and close it in a loop, arrange around your neck
Snood - just close it in a loop by twisting once,arrange around your neck and head
Shrug, Shawl or Stole... as the design comes with 2 length and width variations - the wider one can easily become the later.
Yarn:
TML - 1 skein for shorter-narrower version, 2 skeins for wider-longer version
Finished measurements: 9" x 45" and 13.5 x 66"
Needle: US 5 (3.75 mm)
Notions:
hook and eye closures
The pattern comes with clear written instructions and a chart as well as some tips. The pattern has been test knit in 2 other weights (dk and worsted).
For what it's worth and if you are knitting from stash. This can work great because Hari can be made with Any weight yarn (I'd still suggest to stay within fingering, sport, dk, worsted, maybe chunky range). Just reconsider your yardage calculations if you are substituting it.
