Cilou is a bulky and lush scarf knit in the beautiful shades of Cascade Yarns Eco Duo. The color pattern on the scarf was inspired by the slightly blurry the patterns created when the warp of an Ikat fabric is tied onto a loom.

The scarf is knit in the round from the bottom up. A provisional cast on is used so that you can later make a three needle bind off using these cast on stitches. This pattern uses three needle bind off to create a firm edge for attaching the fringe. There are three charts for the colorwork pattern and detailed instructions for adding the fringe.

Finished size: 8 inches in width and 73.5 inches in length
