Marianne Scarf

Here is the pattern for my Marianne Scarf that I made for my dear mother. The pattern is actually a Gansey pattern combo the outer strips are called the Moss Ladder and the inner pattern is the called an Inverness Diamond. I used Red Heart soft yarn because it is soft duh!

I made the scarf for mom because she spends so much time making big Aran afghans for people and no one ever makes her anything! The fringe is the same fringe knot she uses on her blankies.

I tried the pattern and it is workable if anyone has any problems please email me and I will try to help. Ganseys are wonderful for new knitters, it only uses knit and purl stitches and the changes are just enough to keep it interesting.

Good Luck!
