I also finished a Stripey Noro scarf. It doesn’t really have a pattern: I just cast on in Noro Silk Garden, knit alternating rows in garter stitch. Mr. Math has grabbed his one. I just love it, so I might grab it back once in a while.
Here’s a shot in different lighting while it was still on the needles:
I cast on in the corner, then added a stitch at each end of each right side row until I decided it was wide enough. From that point onward, I increased a stitch on the right side row at one edge and decreased a stitch on the right side row at the other edge. I kept knitting until it looked long enough, then decreased one stitch at both the beginning and the end of each right side row until there were no stitches left. Presto! The gradient stripe of the Noro Silk Garden makes the magic happen.
