I am working at increasing the number of knitting patterns available to buy from my website at the moment.
The latest addition is called Fern Scarf – named after the Fern Lace stitch pattern that I have used.
Last week we had some gorgeous spring sunshine so I ventured out into the garden to take some photos of the scarf in the beautiful natural light. 
There are 2 different sized scarves that you can choose from and you will need 200g (448m ) DK.
The scarf can be made in 2 different widths, the finished size is approximately 230cm x 15cm (168cm x 24cm)
You will also need a pair of 4mm needles.
I have used West Yorkshire Spinners Bluefaced Leicester prints DK. I really really like this yarn (see my Petal cushion using the same Owl colour-way). First of all it is bluefaced leicester which I love because it is warm and soft and silky. Secondly, the colours which they have chosen on the theme of Country Birds. When you look at the ball of yarn it is amazing to see how the knitted fabric turns out. The scarf shown is in the Owl colour-way and I have done a little swatch here in the Blue Tit colour.
This stitch is very pretty and works so well with the print yarns but I think a plain colour would also be very attractive. If you’re nervous about tackling anything beyond stocking or garter stitch, this could be an ideal project for you to try. The pattern repeat is worked over only 4 rows with the wrong side rows being purl only (except the g st edging), so there are only 2, easy to memorise, pattern rows to tackle. It truly is much easier than it looks and I’d encourage you to try it.
There is a garter st edging at either end and along each side to prevent that curling up effect which is typical of certain stitches.
I like this Blue Tit swatch so much that I’ve cast on the wider version of the scarf.
I hope you might be inspired to cast on one for yourself.
