Like a Whisper

I just finished the scarf Fascinate that I blogged about on one of my swatch: stash days. I used one hank of beautiful angora in what I called blush and when I saw the pattern, I knew how lovely this delicate scarf would look both in this color and texture.




This is a Berroco pattern and it's incredibly simple.  Two knit rows (garter stitch) followed by a double yo row, and then one row where all the yos are dropped.  I am a huge fan of dropped stitches -- I like the lacy and airy feeling that's created and in a yarn such as angora, the effect is ... well, like a whisper!



I kept the scarf on the short side not only because I only had one hank, but I like the idea of tucking this whisper of a scarf inside a light-weight jacket or cardigan.  This is going to be an end-of-year teacher's gift, and we hope she likes it.
