CLOVER LEAF SCARF OR STOLE by Shui Kuen Kozinski Green Irish pasture: Grazing on clover- Frisky Horse. Inspired by Kate Gilbert's Clapotis, this Clover Leaf Scarf/Stole is knitted diagonally with a combination of clover leaf eyelets and long-ladder patterns. Long-ladder stitches are dropped on every right side row. The following is a description of the long-ladder pattern in Mary Thomas' Book of Knitting Patterns, p.100-101: "A stitch, when dropped, will leave an open ladder space about three times the normal width of the stitch, and in closely spaced, long ladder patterns will add considerably to the width of the fabric." To enhance the fabric structure, the stitch before and after the drop stitch, is knitted through the back loop. The beautiful jasmine green color, silky luster, and drape of elann.com Pure Bamboo yarn accentuate the clover leaf details. Experience: Intermediate. Size: Scarf: 10 1/2 x 70 inches after blocking. Stole: 22 x 70 inches after blocking. Materials: - elann.com Pure Bamboo - 3 balls for scarf and 7 balls for stole. - 2.75mm (US 2) straight needles. Gauge: 21 sts per 4 inches over pattern sts after blocking.
