As the nights get longer and darker, the need for bright colours becomes greater.
The Silvester is a lacy rectangular scarf/stole.
Silvester will be published as part of a KAL starting Dec 7, 2009.
My Silvester is knit in rust coloured Tencel 5/2 from Yarntopia Treasures.
Unfortunately the 5/2 Tencel has been discontinued, but the 8/2 Tencel or 5/2 Egyptian Cotton would both be good alternatives.
Other yarn suggestions include:
Wollmeise 100% Sockenwolle or Lace-Garn
Sanguine Gryphon Sappho
most lace or fingering weight yarns
Colour recommendations: solid or semi-solid colours
The length adjustable in the pattern. Depending on your gauge and the yarn you choose, the width will vary. With my yarn and 4.5 mm needles, the width of the stole is 45 cm.
The yarn consumption will also vary, depending on your gauge and the length you choose to make your Silvester. 500-600 yds is a reasonable guess though.
This pattern is available in downloadable pdf format for $8.00 CDN.
