Notes:
The scarf shown in this pattern was knit using Ancient Arts 100% Mulberry Silk hand painted yarn in the Fall Birch colour way. In order to duplicate the way the colour has patterned in triangles and diamonds, this scarf requires either the listed silk yarn painted in a two-tone colour way, or a similar two-tone yarn with a skein diameter of 60 inches. The patterning consists of colour pooling that is naturally formed by knitting a row length that uses approximately 28 inches of the 30 inches of each colour on the yarn. By using this yarn the colours will migrate from side to side of the scarf as the knitting progresses without any additional work at patterning. You can adapt this pattern to using shorter diameter skeins by adjusting the number of 4 stitch lace repeats to match the length of colour repeats in the yarn you have chosen. All you need to do is to choose a number of repeats that leaves 1-2 inches of each colour left at the end of a row.
