I have yet to knit a scarf, and every once in awhile I see a scarf that makes me think, hm, that might be the one. I’m still not over Linda, but now there’s Baedecker by Marina Skua (from Quince and Co’s Scarves Etc 6 collection) putting up an argument that perhaps it should be my first. I’m entranced by those giant cabled diamonds — so simple, but so striking. If I get to do some long-distance traveling this spring, this might be a good companion, since it would be occupying but slow going.

Lovely how the bands fold and disappear as they form the diamonds. I really wish every scarf pattern would show the reverse – it’s always gonna show when you wear it.
This is beautiful – and, yes, I’d like to see the reverse. On long gorgeous scarves: I finally knit one of the Jared Flood patterns – very long like this one. Took me forever but now I’ve worn it for two winters. Awesome! I’d so wanted a BIG scarf to fold double around my neck and still hang down the front of me. Sigh… recommend! I knit away at it between projects until it was done. I also learned, the hard way, that the chart went right to left then left to right. It was my second charted pattern. I was so very frustrated that one of the sections would not knit out right – someone talked about it in their Ravelry notes and saved me!
No one does scarves better than Quince and Co.!
Lovely scarf pattern, just added to my Ravelry queue! I’ve only knit a couple of scarves. They seem to take forever compared with quick cowls.
