Beautiful scarf! Having trouble downloading the pattern though…
Thank you so much ladies!! I’m so glad you like it! You are very Welcome!!
I love your design and although I havent knitted in a while I’m going to try and knit this scarf. Im pretty much a beginner but Im going to try my best to follow the directions. The only question I have is about the abbreviation MC, I thought it meant main color but since this pattern only uses one color, I wasnt sure if Im correct?
Hi Maria,
Yes, you are right. MC is abbreviation for the color used ;)
Good luck with this project. Enjoy!
I cannot wear alpaca or any wool products can you recommend another type of yarn that would work well with this pattern. I want to make it. It is so beautiful!
I was starting to make the meringue scarf, but I’m not sure what you mean by purlwise on the instructions. Could you help me. Barb

This is gorgeous! One question though, for the Fisherman’s Rib section, how many stiches do you recommend to cast on for the adult size? The same 44 from Row 2 of the body?
This is just absolutely breathtaking. I love it so much! I have question. In your opinion would any DK weight yarn work in place of Debbie Bliss’ Andes? I love the yarn but for Valentines day my mom and sister bought me some lovely super soft Plymouth baby alpaca. What do you think?
Monique,
Sure! Just adjust number of CO sts to met the measurements if you would like the same size.
I love this pattern! I am just wondering if the picture on the dress form in the upper left corner is just a smaller size?? I am new to knitting and can’t picture how the long scarf would wrap into the view on the dress form on the top left. Thank you!!!
Hello,
Your fisherman’s rib pattern is unlike any other fisherman’s rib pattern I’ve ever seen. I’m having a lot of trouble getting it right. Can you please share a video of your fisherman’s rib pattern in the Meringue Hand Knitted Cowl?
Thank you!
looks wonderfully snuggly and gorgeous! thanks a million for your generosity x
Если есть, где-то русское описание буду признательна. Спасибо за все Ваши работы, благодаря Вам взяла в руки крючок.
Love the pattern! Using Debbie bliss cashmere! So lovely . But the edge looks messy. I slip purl wise last stitch and then knit first stitch next row. is that right, any suggestions? Thanks :)
What a fabulous pattern! I am new to knitting and was hoping you could clarify how many stitches to cast on for an adult size? Thanks. I’m excited to knit this up but want to make sure I get it right!
is there another way to download this pattern? the download isn’t working. I would really like to try this pattern and appreciate all the comments, it should help me too!
Thank you
urget response needed trying to finish for Christmas! I’m trying to finish this off for a friend of mine who does not crochet. the last of the directions when it says finishing “with RS of band facing, sew Band to RS of body Facing ( do not twist)” 1) Does this mean to sew it to the other end of the body and if so how do you deep it centered the other end is now smaller because of the crochet work.
2) 2nd finishing Band edging sounds as if you do this after you sew this together is this correct?
Melinda,
I’m not sure what you meant here: “and if so how do you deep it centered the other end is now smaller because of the crochet work.” But below are my try to explain how to attach Band:
1. Both shorter edges of Body are equal and 12 (18, 22) sts each. Band is worked along first short edge: sc in each st = 12 (18, 22) sc and then sew to second, which is also 12 (18, 22) sts. So all ends are the same widh.
2. Yes, second finishing Band edging is worked after sewing first one.
I must be doing something wrong. When I increase to 44 stitches and then begin the fisherman pattern with the YO it becomes 66 stitches. Then at the end when I decrease it gives me 33 stitches, not 22. Please tell me where I’m going wrong! I love this and have given 2 as “unfinished IOU” Christmas gifts.
Thank you!!!
Hi,
I’ve just found your stunning pattern for the Meringue Knitted Cowl. I have done fishermans rib for some slippers but this is different. I’ve been trying to find a version on you tube as I’m having trouble working it out. Do you know if there is a video out there that would show me how to do it?
Thanks

Anna, why not to knit this cowl with fisherman rib method you know and comfortable with? To find more lessons/tips/methods/etc. I usually googling: https://www.google.com/search?q=fisherman+knitting&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a#hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=ilo&tbo=d&rls=org.mozilla:en-US%3Aofficial&sclient=psy-ab&q=fisherman+rib+pattern+knitting&oq=fisherman+rib+pattern+knitting&gs_l=serp.3..0i30j0i8i30l2j0i8i7i30.38030.42052.0.42459.12.12.0.0.0.0.88.759.12.12.0.les%3B..0.0…1c.1.Hn7PpejobDE&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.&bvm=bv.1357700187,d.cGE&fp=3b1af66ea76495ea&biw=1920&bih=915
I’m making it for my mum’s 60th and she really likes the lace look. The bit I can’t work out is the section in the brackets of Row 3 on the fisherman rib instructions. I get the K1 tog with yo from prev row, but where do I find the yo to go with the slippd stitch?
I wouldn’t call this a fishermans rib stitch, more Ike the brioche stitch. The way the pattern explains row 3 of the fishermans stitch is unlike any other fishermans rib I’ve seen, but I might be reading it wrong. For those who are confused about this pattern, try you tubing the brioche stitch!
