Rook Scarf (by Lotta H Löthgren) Nereus Mini Set on Aussie Extra Fine Sock with Nylon

Rook Scarf & Shawl

Scarf on the left, shawl on the right.

Perfect for that meditative knit with an easy to remember repeat. Easily customizable (parallelogram shape) with any amount of yarn, I'm whipping scarf sizes (using 5 minis) off my needles for a head start on gifts!

The Rook shawl is knitted from end to end with an all-over slip stitch pattern and i-cord edging. It has a simple construction, with increases on one side until half of the full length is finished, and decreases on the other side until the other end. 

The pattern includes instructions (both charts and written instructions) for two sizes, a scarf and a shawl, but the finished size is easily adjusted to make the most of the yarn you have.
