the Boutique Scarf -- an original knitting pattern by Pamela Grossman

Meet the Boutique Scarf.  This shaped and shapely scarf is wide then narrow, an airy body with a weighty flounce, a bold shape with a soft touch.  The quick, simple to work pattern results in an unexpectedly sophisticated scarf with an unusual and compelling shape.  

 

My scarf, shown here knit from Nashua Creative Focus Worsted, is light and airy with a flouncy ruffle on each end.  To achieve the alternating wide/thin look, switch between size 15 and size 6 needles.   After blocking, it features delightfully delicate points.   It's really a thrill to block it, then patiently return when it's dry to pull out the pins and see it hold this dramatic shape.
