Walking Tour Scarf - Janine Bajus

The Walking Tour Scarf is a lovely riot of colour and traditional Fair Isle patterns inspired by images of native Shetland flowers: 36 shades of  Spindrift yarn, to be exact. But don't panic: in true Fair Isle style only two colours are used in any one round.

The scarf is knit in the round as a long tube so it will keep you warm against the harshest conditions. The geometric patterns make it suitable for a beginner, but the expert colour combinations make it interesting for the most advanced knitter as well.

This pattern offers wide scope for experimentation: use your stash, try a subdued natural-colour version, replace some of the stranded areas with plain stockinette. knitters choice. Yarn quantities are given in yards to make substitutions easier.

Not every colour requires a full ball of yarn--see below for details.

The Walking Tour Scarf starts with a simple offset corrugated hem--the rest is straightforward!
