HALF PRICE PATTERN

$3 Download in June

A scarf that I knit many years ago for my father, Stan Hayes, is the inspiration for our Stan's Scarf pattern.

My Dad liked having a wool scarf to wrap around his shoulders to keep his neck warm. The first Stan Scarf had stripes on both ends and was a deep brown color with gold stripes. Those colors worked with the plaid shirts that Dad wore and gave him a spiffed up look in his later years. 

The look has been updated with basic stripes in neutral colors. That's the Stan's Standard variation. 

Then there's the Stan's Pride version that draws on the Roy G. Biv (ROYGBIV) colors of the rainbow menomic -- red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. 

We used Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride yarn for this design. Lamb's Pride comes in tons of colors and knits up smooth and soft.

Each variation has a garter stitch end and seven set of stripes with 24 rows of solid ribbed pattern stitch. 

The pattern includes a clever way of using coils of yarn for the stripes. With a coil, you eliminate the two-skeins-attached-at-the-same-time situation when knitting stripes.

This project makes a great carry-around for summer knitting. Enjoy knitting this easy, delightful scarf.

Happy knitting,

Wanda
