Persian Mystique Persian Mystique - 2 scarf patterns
from Fiddlesticks Knitting

The leaf motif surrounded by lacy filigree, suggestive of the beautiful screens and grillwork of the East, evokes a feeling of "Arabian Nights" romance.

The rectangular scarf (right) begins with a provisional cast on for the first edging, after which it is knit to the other end and finished with I-cord. Finished size is approximately 10 inches wide and 63 inches long.
NOTE: Fiddlesticks Knitting Patterns use charts.
