This is a fast and fun fashion scarf designed to give color to those drab outfits we are so often required to wear to work. This project can be completed in little more than a day, and provides practice with progressively taller stitches.

1 (2) skein(s) of Noro Silk Garden (109 yds, 45% Silk, 45% Kid Mohair, 10% Lambswool), size J/10 (6mm) hook and a darning needle.

Width is 5 in (12.7 cm), length is 62 in (1.5 m) for 1 skein version, or 74 in (1.9 m) for 2 skein.

1 fan = 2 in (5 cm) wide and 2.5 in (6.3 cm) high.

Create Fan Pattern: each fan is a collection of progressively larger and then progressively smaller stitches:
2 sc (0 wraps), 1 dc (1 wrap), 2 tr (2 wraps), 2 dtr (3 wraps), 1 tr tr (4 wraps), 1 qu tr (5 wraps), 1 tr tr (4 wraps), 2 dtr (3 wraps), 2 tr (2 wraps), 1 dc (1 wrap), 2 sc (0 wraps)

To alter the length of the scarf, the pattern is a multiple of 5 plus 1.
