Scarves to Throws - Month 9 - Free Knitting Pattern

Rachel was inspired by the color we chose for this month's scarf, and designed the stitches to grow upward, sort of like golden wheat. As we have discovered with previous scarves, the yarn stretches nicely upon blocking, so you can stop when your scarf reaches about 55-60 inches long, and then block it to 65 inches. Otherwise, you can simply knit until you run out of yarn for a generously long scarf.

Finished Measurements: 5.5 x 65 inches
