Yes, it’s here – the pattern for the scarf that Lucy Liu wore in the show Elementary. I’ve also decided to name the pattern Elementary as it fits the construction. I should point out that the version I have here is one of a few different ways that this scarf can be made. As I noted in an earlier post thanks to a comment from a reader, the pattern in the scarf that Lucy is wearing is one of alternating bands of stocking stitch and reverse stocking stitch. Since this stitch creates a problematic (to me anyway) unsightly seam when the strips are braided and joined, I decided to use a 2×2 rib and graft the strips together once they have been braided.<\/p>\n

I also used a 2×2 rib because I think it provides a little more definition and looks closer to the actual original texture than a 1×1 rib. When viewed from a distance, a 1×1 rib looks a lot like stocking stitch. I think a 3×2 rib would also work, but I’m not going to do this one a third time – I have too many other projects to do.<\/p>\n

I have decided to make the pattern available to you by donation. You can send any amount that you like, and download the pattern. I am also making this available as a KnitKit. What’s that? Well, it’s a kit containing the yarn and the pattern. All you need are the needles (4.5mm suggested) and some time. The KnitKit will be available with 2 different yarns – an Organic Merino Wool and a Superwash Merino Wool. The cost of the kits will be $60 and $40 respectively. The Organic Merino is hand wash only while the Superwash is machine washable on a gentle cycle. Both should be laid flat to dry. You can download the pattern and\/or order a kit below by clicking on the appropriate picture. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
