Splendid Peacock Scarf

Splendid Peacock is the first piece in my Plumage Collection. I've always loved peacocks with their elegant gait and stunning colors. Not surprisingly, I began to think that I must knit something peacock-y. Intarsia came to mind as the best knitting technique, though I craved something less pictorial and more impressionistic. So I played around with some variegated yarn and voila! The pattern uses a stockinette repeat of 39 rows plus a seed stitch border and a selvedge edge. Both a color chart and written instructions are included plus plenty of tips on Intarsia yarn management (be not afraid!).
