Yarn
I recommend a lightweight yarn for Bellis Scarf. I.e. a yarn with a high meterage. I have used a strand of silk mohair held together with a strand of alpaca (light blue scarf) or a strand of cashmere (green and red scarf).

Construction
You begin the scarf at the tip. The scarf is knitted flat in pattern following the chart (or the text). Increases are automatically made on each side when following the chart (or the text). This means you will automatically get more stitches in each row. The pattern repeat consists of 8 stitches and 8 rows. For every 8 rows knitted, you gain 1 more pattern repeat in each side (i.e. a total of 2 more pattern repeats in width). Note: All yarn overs count as a stitch in the total stitch count.
The pattern will be sent as a pdf-file to your e-mail.
