Note:
The scarf in the photos took slightly more than 200g, so to make adjustments for the pattern to take under 200g I have taken off a few rows and the first row of eyelets will actually be closer to the cast-on row than in the photo.

This particular scarf was knitted with a new gradient linen yarn from pre-dyed, pre-knitted blanks (2 x 105g blanks). These gradient colour blanks will soon be available in our shop.
It can be knitted using 2 x 100 hanks of semi-solid yarn for a slightly mottled look, or with multi-coloured yarn for a more variegated look.
