Hi,
Someone asked for this to be posted, here it is. This is the scarf patten
in the book that came with my ISM.  If anyone makes one with stripes,
please let me know if you have any trouble.  I'm still not sure it was the
stripes that caused mine to unravel.  I do love this scarf pattern! :)
(most of the time)

SCARF

SIZES: Child, age 3-6 (child, age 7-10; adult's size)

MATERIALS:  Worsted weight yarn, in your choice of solid color, variegated,
or tweed: one, 3-0z skein for all sizes.  ne skein will make one scarf with
tassels.

1.  Bring forward 51 (57,63) needles to holding position. (HP)
2.  Hang the hem.
3.  Push needles back to forward working position.
4.  Thread carriage with the yarn, leaving an 18" length.
5.  Using #3 KP in the carriage, knit 100 (110,120) rows.
6.  Cut yarn, leavving an 18" length.
7.  Starting the second stitch from the edge, release every other stitch by 
    pushing the needle forward to HP by holding the butt of the needle with 
    your fingers (holding back the knitted fabric with your other hand at the
    same time), then pulling the needle back to NWP which closes the latch and
    drops the stitch.
8.  After you've released these stitches, pull down on the hem so the
stitches 
    run down.  You may need to coax the stitches at the side edges.  When the 
    hem hits the floor, you'll have to help the stitches run down using your
    fingers.
9.  Thread the tapestry needle with the length of yarn at the cast-on edge and
    weave the needle through the stitches remaining attached to the hem, to
    stop them running when you remove the hem.
10. Remove the hem carefully, by snipping the elastic with scissors.
11. Thread the tapestry needly with the length of yarn at the end of your work
    and weave through the stitches on the needles.
12. Remove the knitting from the needles.
13. Cut a separate length of yarn (about 1 1/2 times the length of the scarf)
    and sew the side seam so the scarf will be like a tube, with the knit
    (not purl) side on the outside.  Use Blind Stitch.  Do not pull the 
    stitches too tightly or the scarf will appear gathered at the seamed edge.
14.  Gather the stitches at each end and tie the yarn.
15.  Weave the loose end of yarn into the center of the scarf.
16.  Make two tassels for ends if you wish to.

Subject: [BOND] Scarf pattern - slight variation

I just wanted to post a slight difference I did with the scarf pattern =
from the ISM book. I prefer a strait look as opposed to their gathered =
one. SO! Instead of gathering the ends, I folded the scarf so that the =
seam is in the center back. I then lined up the loose loops and  fringed =
through them, one from the front and one from the back. Since there was =
an odd number of loops, I put the 2 on either side of the center back =
with the center front loop. I did it with WoolEase Autumn print yarn =
with Chestnut for the fringe. It turned out almost perfectly striped! I =
prefer a longer scarf so I knit to RC 150. I must say it's beautiful! I =
intend to make a page with pictures of the things I've made recently, I =
just need to get the pictures developed.=20
