Chevron and Feather Scarf in Sunseeker

Subtle sparkle is fun - especially if it is wearable sparkle.  I am a big fan of something that is soft and sparkly.   Sunseeker is our newest cotton blend - Cotton - Acrylic and Metallic and comes in 15 fashion inspired colors.  As an added bonus it is machine washable and dryable - I actually ended up testing a swatch with towels and it came out unscathed! Once again, I am trying to find out what I can create with just 1 skein.  Fortunately with Sunseeker, there are 237 yards/100 grams.  I thought a simple lacy scarf might be a great fit and it worked up quickly and beautifully on size 8 needles. Materials  - 1 skein Sunseeker ( 47% Cotton/48% Acrylic/5% Metallic Yarn - 237 yd/100 g) - shown in 10 (Blue Turquoise) - US 8 needles - Yarn Needle Abbreviations  - K - Knit  - YO - Yarn Over  - K2Tog - Knit 2 Together  - Sl1 - Slip 1  - psso - Pass Slipped Stitch Over Cast on 40 stitches Start Pattern: Row 1 - *[K1, YO, K4, K2Tog, Sl1, K1, psso, K4, YO], repeat
