Subject: Bette's Mohair Scarf by Gina B. Ahrens
 
 7 skeins-1 3/4 ounce each, Pingouin Mohair Extra
 
Keyplate dot 4
 
Gauge 12 st x 12 rows= 4 inches( gauge is not that important)
 
	 Bring forward 120 needles...push back to NWP every other needle...
.CO with WY and knit 6 rows.....Switch to MC and knit 300 rows....You 
may have to rehang the hem a couple of times when the knitting hits the
 floor....Make sure to use lots of extra weight along the bottom and clipweights
 on the edges..Go slowly and make sure to constantly check for skipped
 stitches....You could use any kind of edge treatment but I didn't want fringe 
or ribbing so I did this scalloped edge that I will try to explain.....At  the last 
row bring all needles to holding possition.....push 7 needles on the carraige
side to FWP......hang a claw weight at this row....Knit 8 rows.....Using the every
other needle multiprong transfer tool, move the first 7 stitches that you just 
worked on to the next 7 in holding possition......Put stitch 1 on stitch 7,
 stitch 2 on stitch 8, and so on........move claw weight over too....Knit 8 rows
 and repeat move....Do this all the way to the end .....at the end move the stitches
 in holding possition on to the needles in working possition.....Knit 1 row...
Back stitch BO......Rehang stitches on WY and repeat the edge treatment on
that end too.....Block scarf making sure to get scallops to stay flat......You will
 have small flaps on the back of the scallops that you might want to sew down...
.before finishing brush the knit side of the scarf with a hair brush to bring
 mohair fibers forward and make it look fluffy....
 
 I think on the next one I will try using mohair and chennille together
 as one yarn maybe on every third needle....
