"There is no specific cast-on to achieve this edge. You can just knit a regular scarf and join the edges any way you like. That's what I did and it looks just fine! And it does not have to have a half twist, either. You can get the same result when you double the scarf around your neck!"

"Looking at the pattern, I think this should be rated "intermediate.""

"Apparently this is an older pattern with no tutorials or links. I was fortunate to locate the yarn on eBay. Now, however, Im having a most difficult time interpreting and following the instructions. Does turn mean wrap and turn as in knitting short rows? Is this the stitch that is then slipped (Sl 1)? What stitch is the last worked stitch on which the marker is placed? How are the remaining stitches transferred to the spare needle? Unless I use a circular needle throughout, I would have to move them in 2 steps - from left needle to a spare needle (on the right) and then back to the spare needle on the left. Thank you for your help."

"They were 1oz balls then, but the yardage isnt given. Most Red Heart now comes in 5oz balls, I think."

". Where else can I find this pattern. If you have the original pdf why don't you make the correction on this site. The following link doesn't work http//us.schachenmayr.com/free-patterns/bolero-lac == e-pattern-s9046/Schachenmayr-Free-Pattern-S9046-Bo == lero-AjourmusterUS0.pdf"
