Add a sparkle of color to your spring outfit with this light and playful scarf. It is easy to knit because it consists of garter stitch short rows alternated with a lace pattern. As with nearly all short row patterns, it’s great to show off your variegated yarn.

The pattern contains written instructions and some illustrations explaining the short rows.

The finished scarf measures 36 cm in width and 170 cm in length. The length can be adjusted by knitted more or fewer pattern repeats.

Skills needed to knit this scarf:

• Short rows with wrap and turn (w+t)
• Decrease with slip-slip-knit (ssk), alternatively you can use a k2tog
• Increase with yarn-over (yo)

To knit the yarn in the photos I used Austermann Step 6 - Irish Rainbow Colors (http://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/austermann-step-6-ir...). Colorway 632.
