The Chart
This resource may help you to read charts
Notes
- If you follow the instructions below, the direction of stars will all be in one direction – starting at the bottom of the scarf and traveling upwards as you knit.
- If you want the stars to be traveling the same way (up) when worn around your neck, you will have to knit the chart twice, then turn it and knit from the other direction (upside down). So when the scarf is worn, the stars will be facing upward on both sides of the scarf.
- Alternatively, you can make a cowl – by knitting the chart once and completing the border edge.
- You will then seam the cowl by using the mattress stitch.
