This is one of my favorite patterns. At first it was impossibly hard, but eventually it got much easier. It's similar to the pattern that I posted for dish-cloths. I followed this pattern for a Quant that I found on Knitty and adapted it for a scarf.
I used the same Crystal Palace Yarns: Taos that they used in the picture. If I was to do it again I would probably use something else. It wasn't very soft (especially since I was making a scarf) and it was impossible to undo. I can't tell you how much i wasted trying to take apart what I had done and not being able to. I defiantly wont try and learn a new and complex pattern with that yarn. But, in its defense, it is beautiful, these pictures do not do it justice at all. And the length of the variegate is perfect for this pattern.
Here is how I retyped the pattern so it was easier for me to follow when knitting a scarf from it. I never was able to finish it, so I haven't yet figured out how I'm going to fill in to bind off. If anyone gets there before me, let me know
