Terpsichore Scarf
Terpsichore was the muse of dance, and the name means “delight in dance.”
The Terpsichore scarf is a little kerchief that can be worn in multiple ways. It is started at the tip of the scarf, then increased on every right side row until the full width, before decreasing your way back to the other tip. The size can easily be modified by adding more pattern repeats to create a larger shawl.
The Terpsichore scarf was designed for those odd balls and leftover skeins of fingering weight yarn and mohair we all have in our stashes, but the shawl can also be worked in a single strand of DK weight yarn.
Size
Length: 120 cm / 47.25 inches
Width: 29 cm / 11.5 inches
Yarn
Note: The scarf uses a strand of fingering weight yarn held together with a strand of lace weight yarn, but they can be substituted for a single strand of DK weight yarn. If you wish to work a DK weight version, omit all the instructions where it says “hold the yarns together” and follow only the yarn amount requirements for the fingering weight yarn.
225 m / 246 yards of fingering weight yarn AND 225 m / 246 yards of lace weight yarn.
Sample: 1 skein of Lanivendole A Stormy Blend (70% brogna wool, 30% alpaca; 225 m / 246 yards per 50 g) shown in the colorway Perla and 1 ball of Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair (70% mohair, 30% silk; 225 m / 246 yards per 25 g), shown in colorway Caramel.

26 sts and 26 rounds = 10 cm / 4 inches of cable pattern in the round after blocking
Note: Always use the needle size that gives you the right gauge!
