Today was a cozy, rainy day, and I spent it curled up on the couch with a cat in my lap, knitting and watching movies. This scarf was the perfect project for today-- mindless enough that I could keep an eye on my movies, but not mindless enough to be boring.
.It's knit with Berroco Bonsai, which is 97% bamboo and 3% nylon. It has a bit of a shine to it and sort of glistens. The pattern is a classic called feather and fan. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmm mmmmm
Abbreviations:K1: knit one stitch
K2TOG: knit two stitches together
YO: yarn over
Supplies:
Berroco Bonsai yarn (three skeins, 77 yards each) or any worsted yarn of your choice

Hello out there! I decided to try your scarf pattern and so far I love it! I'm not much of a knitter and my yarn isn't nearly as nice as what you're using (just something left over from a sweater I started to knit a decade ago), but the pattern is very pretty and it's coming along nicely.
I will link to your blog on my next post (probably tomorrow or Wednesday) and let my 4 faithful readers know to visit you over here.
Thanks for posting this pattern.
Very pretty - and guess who has some Bonsai!!!!
How many skeins did you use for this pattern? thanks!
Where can I find the Bonsai yarn?
Hi D. Wray-- the Bonsai yarn is made by Berocco and is available online at Yarn Market and Jimmy Beans Wool.
This looks lovely, but using 3 skeins... how long does it end up?
Hi Pattie,
The Berroco Bonsai yarn only has 77 yards per ball, so the scarf is actually quite short. If you use a different kind of yarn you probably wouldn't need three of them.
