To plan the pattern proportions in this rectangular shawl, JoLene Treace employed the Fibonacci series—a numerical sequence that abounds in nature. Beginning with 0 and 1, each number in the series is the sum of the previous two (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, and so on). The main component of JoLene’s scarf is an eight-stitch garter-and-faggoting section containing three garter stitches, two faggoting stitches, and three garter stitches. These eight-stitch panels alternate with twenty-stitch leaf panels. For the side borders JoLene added three more garter stitches plus a chained (slipped) selvedge stitch.
