Half-Width Chevron Scarf



I finally picked a pattern for my Qiviut yarn. I have 2 balls that are each 144 yards and 28 grams (~3/4 ounce). After going through Artic Lace, I realized I didn't have enough for any of the lace scarfs but noticed that some of the scarfs had two sets of motifs. At first, I thought I would do a half width Skeleton Scarf but just couldn't get started.

Last month, I was thinking about starting the scarf again and looked at Skeleton scarf and the other patterns. I decided I wanted something fancier for the middle and settled on the Chevron scarf. So, far I have the borders and one full repeat of the chevron plus a little. It is about half the width of the actual pattern. I think I will get the full length or very close to it.

When I am not knitting on it, the yarn is staying in the zip lock back it came it. This might be a bad idea some where else. I have heard that fiber felts in moist climates when zip locked. So, far I have been lucky.

So, far the yarn has been easy to work with.
