Web-Letter, Issue 183 – Posh Neck Scarf This is a variation on the popular Little Leaf Scarf, knit in Soft Linen, from the Make It Modern pattern book of Spring 2008. Posh is a wonderful yarn to wear against the skin. Wear one scarf alone or twine together two scarves for a more dramatic look.
The Story: The first half of this leaf scarf begins with a Provisional Cast-on. If you are unfamiliar with the Provisional Cast-on technique then head over to the CEY blog for a tutorial. After working a 2 x 2 rib, stitches are decreased before the leaf pattern begins. To shape the leaf, YO increases and slanting decreases are worked into the ribbing. To work the second half of the scarf, the Provisional CO is unraveled and those stitches are worked identically to the first half. The only difference between the two halves of the scarf is one big buttonhole at the base of one leaf.  Personalize the scarf with a big button or just pull the other end of the scarf through the buttonhole. These little scarves work up so quickly! You can easily finish one while watching a movie. The quickness of this project makes it instantly gratifying while the leaf shaping keeps it interesting. Enjoy! The Yarn: Posh 70% silk, 30% cashmere A rich yarn with an incredible hand. The perfectly blended 70% silk and 30% cashmere fibers are spun into a worsted weight yarn. Perfect for dressier sweaters and warm-weather cashmere lovers. Once you touch this luxury yarn, you'll be in love!	more photos The Pattern: Here is the free downloadable Posh Neck Scarf pattern.
