Glady Creek Scarf is a gentle crescent-shaped scarf shaped by short rows that encourages any knitter to try new stitches and find textures that are different and pleasing to both knit and wear. Short rows are also used to create the pointed border pattern that accentuates the flower bud lace.

This pattern is fully written out and also has charts for the lace sections for knitters who prefer to knit from charts. There are several stitches in the pattern that a knitter may not be familiar with, but with a little patience and a little practice, you’ll be a pro in no time.

Materials used:

• 400 yards (366 meters) each of two colors of fingering weight yarn
• Glady Creek could also be knit in one color, simply ignoring the color change instructions.

Gauge is not critical to the successful completion of the scarf, though differences in gauge will affect the finished size and the amount of yarn required. Glady Creek Scarf benefits from very aggressive blocking.
