Pattern Description:
Knit a piece of textile history!
The pattern for this scarf is based on Barbara Walker's interpretation of the Dura-Europos "knitting" fragment (later proven to be nalbinding, not knitting at all. More information can be found in the excellent Knitty article on the subject, found here).
The scarf is reversible and knits up quickly because of its shape. It's really like knitting only half a scarf!

About the Designer
I taught myself to knit using a video and some scratchy acrylic yarn in 2005. Thirty minutes into the video, and I was hooked! A temporary move from the Midwest to Southern California was a test of my love for wool, but I am happy to say my primarily-woolly stash is bigger than ever.

I taught myself to knit using a video and some scratchy acrylic yarn in 2005. Thirty minutes into the video, and I was hooked! A temporary move from the Midwest to Southern California was a test of my love for wool, but I am happy to say my primarily-woolly stash is bigger than ever.
I began designing patterns in 2011 and realized I gravitate toward designs with clean lines and contemporary (but not too contemporary!) stylings. I strive to make my designs available to knitters in as wide a range of sizes as possible.
Things I love: cables, simple lace, strong lines, designs that look far more complicated to make than they actually are, and beautiful, saturated colors complementing each other in stripes or colorwork.
Besides designing, I am also an aspiring fiction writer. I?m working on my third young-adult novel when I?m not knitting as fast as my hands will go.
