there are NO (that’s right, none) charts for this pattern; All the links go to a yarn website

In reply to Deborah.

I’m sorry! You’re so right. I knit this scarf nine years ago and I forgot about that :)

It’s just a normal bind-off. You know, knit two stitches, lift the first over the second and drop it. Knit another, lift and drop the previous one. Make sure you don’t knit them too tightly.

yes I am knitting both sides. Am I missing something because I believe you have to bind off 4 stitches on rows 8,9,16, 17, 24,, and the first row of each new pattern start

Hi Deborah,

The points aren’t bound off. They’re always at the side of the knitting. I know that probably doesn’t help, but if you’re binding off the points you’re doing something funky!

Are you remembering to knit the wrong-side rows plain? The chart only shows right-side rows.

I started this scarf the other day and have taken it apart two times already. I for some reason cannot get the points to look like the picture. I know mine isn’t blocked yet but when I try to faux block it they look horrible.
My wuestion is…which bind off method did you use?

In reply to Andrea. Wow, thanks for letting me know! Also, I'm impressed that you've used a scarf for 5 years without losing it! Hahaha!

Kara, I get sooooooooooooo many compliments on this scarf! I recycled some off-white soft yarn from a cashmere sweater – a technique I learned & used working in a woman’s shelter in Mexico – & used that yarn in your BEAUTIFUL scarf pattern. It is STUNNING! Thank you for posting this – sorry to be so late posting, as I’ve enjoyed my scarf for about 5 years now :-)

Kara,

THANK YOU so much for posting this scarf as a free download. I started knitting again after 6 year hiatus (and last time I only knitted basic stitch scarves). I was in a bad car accident and couldn’t do anything but sit around so I picked up knitting again. I Refreshed my skills on basic stitches by knitting 6-7 scarves for friends. I was getting bored and wanted to conquer lace stitiching. My last 4 scarves have been lace scarves. I LOVE yours bc of the elegant border and ends. I want to thank victor for writing the pattern out…I am not chart ready at this time, yet I do know how to pick up and knit borders and I just taught myself provisional cast on using a crochet hook. I hope Victors written out stitches are correct and I hope I can complete the ends properly. Sad thing is that I am using up a lace wieght (size 2 recommended needle)wool/silk yarn (about 80 grams left) that is black, and I am going to try it on #5. THANKS AGAIN KARA and VICTOR

In reply to Nancy. The symbol for "sl1, k2tog, psso" is the little christmas-tree looking thing on the left edge of the fern lace section of the chart.
