A scarf for the end of winter

Nadine Scarf by Anna Ravenscroft, Anna Alway Designs
The calendar might well say March 21st, the First Day of Spring, but it doesn't feel very Spring‐like here. The fourth Nor'Easter in only three weeks has just passed through the area, adding more snow to the large volume that is already on the ground.

I suppose I should be knitting tank‐tops and summer cardigans, but instead I have a pair of warm gloves on my needles and am thinking of a new scarf or cowl to follow. Winter is definitely not finished yet!

So here's a scarf that is just perfect for knitting right now. This is Anna's new pattern, the Nadine Scarf, featuring a beautiful stitch from our book, Reversible Knitting Stitches.

The stitch is called Irish Squares and features short sections of a 2x2 rib bridging over wider squares of Irish Moss Stitch. The ribbed sections of the pattern draw in while the Moss Stitch expands widthwise, giving a wonderfully curving appearance to the design.

The Nadine Scarf shows this stunning surface texture to perfection and both sides have an immediate visual impact. The stitch also traps the air very well, so the scarf is cozy and warm – just perfect for this time of year.
​

The pattern looks complicated to knit but is surprisingly easy once you get going, so the scarf would make a good next‐level design for a beginner knitter wishing to stretch their wings.
