I named the scarf Trigonometry because as I was making it I found myself suddenly recalling trig equations as I worked. How many slip sts should the base of my triangle have? Well, if a=1/2(bh) then… and in that moment I realized that you actually do use trig after graduation! Sure, I graduated high school 10 *coughseventeencough years ago, but I guess it stuck. I liked Trig a lot in high school, but after I broke up with med school to have a life-long affair with yarn, I kinda figured it wouldn’t come back up again. So there you go.
My mother-in-law asked me for a new scarf for Christmas, so the sample is going to her. I designed a new colorway for it, to compliment her coats and style, and I’m completely over the moon for it. The bright shoots of pink, paired with deep reds and soft scarlet kept me excited about it while I was knitting.
This elegant scarf may look complex, but it’s a simple knit that works up super-fast in your favorite luxury fingering weight yarn. Slip stitch triangles and garter row stripes give visual interest, while German short row wedges keep the pattern interesting. 4 sections are repeated across it, so even though the pattern is fairly simple, you won’t get bored.
