Magic Circles Scarf Pattern By Jane Crowfoot

Pattern forward by Jane:

I love looking at how shapes fit together and have wanted to create a tessellating circle design for some time. Circular motifs can be tricky to fit together and it is common to find the circular shape becomes slightly distorted when motifs are pieced together, so rather than create motifs that are square or octagonal, I designed cross-shaped infill pieces that protect the shape of the large circles.

This pattern was originally written for a blanket, but when I saw the beautiful range of shades available in Eden Cottage Milburn DK range I knew I had to make a scarf version.

When making the small infill circles you are asked to make a magic loop to start. You can find a technique download that explains how to do this on the Janie Crow website

The design uses 17 balls of Eden Cottage Milburn DK in the following shades:

• 4 x Althaea
• 3 x Steel
• 2 x Wicker
• 2 x Tea Rose
• 2 x Autumn Fields
• 1 x Bramble
• 1 x Harvest Gold
• 1 x Catmint
• 1 x Thyme

Other equipment

• 3.50mm & 4.00mm Crochet Hook
• Stitch Markers
• Knitters Sewing needle
