Ancient Pathways

“French women are known for wearing scarves. Starting in September and until summer arrives; this is a most important accessory. The scarf may be striped or patterned, colorful, wrinkled and is much bigger than the scarves you probably have. Women just wrap the scarf around their neck in a "Je suis belle et ça ne demande aucun effort*" sort of way and off they go.”
“Since I have lived in Paris, I have realized that these ladies are on to something. I find I am much warmer wearing a scarf, even if I’m not wearing a jacket, so here is my knit version of the French scarf. It’s knit on the bias so the variegated yarn makes diagonal stripes and stitches are carefully dropped to make a pattern in the opposite direction. This creates a scarf that tends to be a little more of a parallelogram than a rectangle, but I promise, it’s nice that way. “ Reprinted by permission from Kate Gilbert.
