Pattern wanted: Magic Scarf Pattern, expandable version
Hi there
Just wanting to know if anyone has the pattern *which seems to be a heavily guarded secret* for the Magic Scarf seen he www.magicscarf.com It expands and can be worn a number of ways....I am guessing that the secret is in the stitch and yarn/s used...but have NO idea of what either of them could be....your experience would be appreciated. This is one thing that I have found the casting off: http://www.spellingtuesday.com/magicscarf.html but it still doesn't seem quite 'right' so I have come to this n/g for guidance. Thanking you all Rach |

... Hi there Just wanting to know if anyone has the pattern *which seems to be a heavily guarded secret* for the Magic Scarf seen he www.magicscarf.com Hi back at you, and welcome to the newsgroup! ;o) I'm sorry, I don't have the pattern for the scarf, but that is really pretty... I hope someone does know where to find the pattern. This is one thing that I have found the casting off: http://www.spellingtuesday.com/magicscarf.html I could be wrong (wouldn't be my first time), but that just looks like a tube scarf... and doesn't look like it could possibly change into the shawl that is shown on the first URL.

I've knitted 8 scarves using that nasty nylon eyelash yarn. Garter
stitch all the way. The scarves I made have a habit of stretching and becoming very long and skinny when the ends are yanked. Pull the edges out starting from the center and they get wider than the original cast-on would suggest they're capable of doing. I think garter stitch nylon eyelash would be a starting point for experimentation.

Try the one on coats and clark's site here... http://www.coatsandclark.com/fun_and...arn/LW1445.htm, though I found a better way to cast off than they say. You can monkey around with the size to figue out what works for you. sue |

Forgot to mention... even with this pattern you could increase the stitches per round and cut down on the length a little until you get the size you want. Think of the pattern as a template and you make adjustments as needed to get what you want. sue |

When my LYS owner saw one, she did her knock-off using the shortest
available size 19 circulars and very few stitches, barely enough to reach around the needle, though it does get easier after the first few rows because of the stretchiness of these novelty yarns at such a loose gauge. She used the invisible cast-on and a very loose bind-off, with an M1 between each stitch that was immediately bound off. | On Tue, 31 May 2005 21:12:26 GMT, Wooly wrote: I've knitted 8 scarves using that nasty nylon eyelash yarn.

Here is another pattern:
http://www.coatsandclark.com/fun_and...arn/LW1445.htm and some and some info I found: FREE PATTERN......MAGIC SCARF! Wear this amazingly soft and stretchy cowl over your shoulders, around your neck or over your head. After playing with it for just a little while you'll find many exciting possibilities. Instructions: Cast on (very loosely) 68 stitches on size 11 24" circular needles. (You may want to cast on to needles two sizes larger to make sure it is loose enough.) Knit in the round to desired length. 2 balls will make a scarf approximately 35" long unstretched (approx. 41" long stretched). 3 balls will make a scarf approximately 53" long unstretched (approx. 62" long stretched). To retain the horizontal stretchiness of the scarf, do not bind off. Instead, cut the yarn leaving a 3 yard tail. Thread this tail on a tapestry needle and slide the stitches off the knitting needle onto the tapestry needle, to be held by the yarn tail. Once all the stitches are on the yarn tail, stretch the scarf opening as far as it will go, and tie off the tail to the first stitch. Rather unconventional, but it works! c Beth |
