Through Thick & Thin Designed by Sharon Brock for Mango Moon This scarf is made using a thick yarn (TDF) and a thin yarn (CAPRA). The silk in both yarns gives it a lovely shine. The technique of sliding one row across the length of the circular needle creates a subtle zig-zag look. All stitches are knit, but it will not result in garter stitch. Make it as a gift for someone special, or treat yourself to this luxurious accessory! MATERIALS SCARF Short (Long) Using long tail method, cast on 15 (12) stitches with Capra. Knit two rows, drop Capra and join TDF. Knit one row. Now – slide the row just knitted with TDF to the other end of the circular needle. Gently push, do not pull, the stitches across. You have completed the set-up and are ready to knit using the following steps. 1 skein TDF by Mango Moon , 75% wool, 18% silk, 7% nylon (33 yds/100 g) 1 – Drop TDF, and knit three rows with Capra 1 skein CAPRA or CAPRA TOO by Mango Moon, 75% kid mohair, 25% silk (270 yds/25 g) 2 – Drop Capra, bring TDF to the front, and knit across row Needles – Circular, size 17 in any length (straight needles will not work) 3 – Slide the row of TDF stitches across the needle to the other end *** Sample scarf is in Midnight Blue Capra Too and Neptune TDF*** Repeat these steps (3 rows of Capra, 1 row of TDF) until you no longer have enough TDF left to complete another row.
