Esker

CA$9.00

Esker :: a winding ridge of sediment deposited by the meltwater of a retreating glacier. There are many eskers in Labrador, and a little place aptly named, Esker.

The scarf is worked in two pieces: each piece from tip to centre, then the two pieces are grafted in the centre. The texture pattern and built in lace edging is worked flat. The Fair Isle and single-colour stockinette in the centre is worked entirely in the round and then laid flat to form a double layer of reversible colourwork (as also done in my Rioux shawl and Wabana cardigan patterns if you are familiar with those!)

Needles and Notions

The gauges were achieved with the following needles. To work the pattern as written, you must swatch and use a needle size that will result in the correct gauge after blocking.

You will also need: spare needles or interchangeable cables for holding sts, removable markers or scrap yarn to hold edge stitches, stitch markers.
