Description

Tangiers Scarves

Tangiers Scarves are designed to help you enjoy beautiful, worsted weight yarns, explore techniques and shaping, but without committing to a large project.

The 2-Color Tangiers scarf version has two undulating bands of a second color that follow the contour of the scarf.  The undulating bands are the same color but still follow the shape of the Single-Color Tangiers scarf.  Add a pop of color at the ends and in the embellishments. The techniques used in the Tangiers scarves cause a slight difference between the designs.

Tangiers Scarf – What’s In There

The written instructions for doing the crossed stitch decreases and increases are written to be done without using a cable needle, but you can use a cable needle if you like.  Simply keep the the 2 Stockinette stitches toward the front and move them in the direction stated.

These two versions of Tangiers scarf also provide an opportunity to see how two yarns that are virtually the same —except for fiber content— behave slightly differently.  A simply elegant design let the yarns tell their stories.

Follow my lead while exploring these interesting concepts and techniques used in making the Tangiers scarves.  This pattern contains written instructions as well as shaping and other Action charts.  There are road maps, schematics, and technique descriptions.  These are the techniques offered:

  1. Action charts
  2. Applied i-cord
  3. Crossed decreases
  4. Crossed increases
  5. Decorative closure
  6. Flexible long-tail cast on
  7. I-cord bind off
  8. Lifted right and left increases
  9. Seed and Moss Stitches: how they differ and the impact on color distribution of the yarn
  10. Stranded knitting (Color 1)*
  11. Two-color intarsia knitting*
  12. Measuring
  13. Using Written Pattern Table Instructions
  14. Waste Yarn in Place of Stitch Holders

*These used only in the 2-color version.
