Special Notes:

• Cable It: work sts out of order or use cable needle, if desired.
• Customize It: easily customize the length by working fewer or more repeats.
• Pair It: working On the Set as part of the large project in the Technicolor: Movie Night Collection? Make sure scarf measures long enough to comfortably wrap around and tie. For larger sizes, you may wish to work a longer length, which may need an additional skein. For smaller sizes, you may wish to work a shorter length.
• Slip It: slip as if to knit or slip as if to purl, whatever you find more comfortable. Consistency in slipping style is what is important for a flawless edge.
• Watch It: check out mini tutorials for the I-cord Cast On and Bind Off and cabling without a cable needle on the Knit Eco Chic blog, Quick Stitch Tutorials.

Special Notes:

• Swatch It: make sure to swatch a large stockinette section, wash, dry, and hang before taking your gauge. 100% silk has a tendency to relax and grow. 
• Construct It: constructed top down with a modification of “Lindsay’s Disappearing Cast On (TM)” method. This cast on trick creates a stabilizing seam without the need for finishing work. Note: using a long tail cast on for the back and front separately and seaming at the end may be substituted if desired.
• Join It: the scarf is joined seamlessly as you work. The scarf is edged by slipped stitches. Unless otherwise indicated work 1 join st into 1 of the scarf’s edge slipped sts sets (both loops). On the next join, move to the next slipped stitch. Joining directions are highlighted by an asterisk (*).
• Substitute It: if subbing yarn, the “If subbing yarn” directions are a measurement conversion of the rows / rnds immediately preceding it. Measure along the arm edge of the shoulders. 
• Hem It: check out the Knit Eco Chic video blog, Quick Stitch Tutorials, for a visual demonstration of this cool mock 3-needle bind off hemming trick.
• Pattern navigation: written directions pages 4-8, blocking schematic page 9, photo tutorials pages 10-15.
