Hi Phyllis,
So glad you like the scarf! It’s not possible to knit on straight needles because of the large number of stitches on the final rows- they just wouldn’t fit!

Beautiful scarf. I want to do this with straight needles. I purchased a very pretty dressy yarn in Michaels the other day and they are small balls, bought about 8. Have never worked with this yarn so i do not know how it works out but for a spiral thin scarf I think I will use as much of the yarn as I have, therefore, I am afraid to use it on circular needles. Can you transfer the instructions into straight needles and will it be curly like yours. Thanks again, just beautiful. Phyllis

Dear Suzie, I’m trying to knit a similar scarf which I came across elsewhere (I do NOT have the knitting pattern) which uses a 10mm needle and start off with 51 sts and end up with 801 sts. Please advise on possible knitting pattern. Thank you very much.

I don’t think it needs blocking, but I have seen pictures of it being blocked in a spiral. If you are a Ravelry user, you can see a picture from another knitter here: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/florapie/ruffle-lace-scarf

Love this scarf pattern although the cast-off row takes forever! Dumb question – a scarf like this can’t really be blocked, right?

Lovely pattern that worked out well. Made it using Adriafil Carezza angora yarn on 5mm circular needle so ended up smalled which was just what I needed. Ended up with a little bit of decorative fluffiness to keep my neck cosy.

I am wondering about what the yardage is for the scarf since it differs from grams dpending on weight. Is the yardage on this yarn about 200 yds? I also wondered how short I could go on this scarf and if I use a bigger or smaller needle how this would affect it. I have about 65g of Cascade Eco Alpaca that I am thinking about trying.

I love this scarf. I’m going to try it as soon as I can buy some longer circular needles. Thanks so much.

I would like to make this scarf using a silk mohair yarn. A 7mm needle is equivalent to a 10 1/2 or 11, is that correct? Joy Hamon

I found, that this wasn’t long enough, while using size us 5 with a lightweight cashmere, does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi Esther,
Regular needles are simply not long enough to hold the 1000 stitches you have in the final rows, that’s why you need circulars.

Then again, using handspun sportweight……maybe that’s my problem?

Or longer is right. Do not attempt with a 40 inch circular. You need at least a 60 inch to make this whopper! I’m on row 14, and holy cow, bunch city. Hoping I can make it to the end

Hi Sandy, ‘cast off’ would always be knitwise unless otherwise stated.

Question,\
After row 16 it says cast off.
Do you mean cast off purlwise or knitwise? Does it matter?

It will actually work with ANY number of stitches. Very sorry for the confusion! That will teach me to actually read the pattern before suggesting mods! Good luck with it!
