HOOK: US size ​​F (3.75mm) or size needed to obtain gauge SKILL LEVEL: Intermediate - This pattern is for those who feel comfortable with crocheting and have made a few projects, using various skills and techniques. Skills/concepts include post stitches, linked slip stitches, and long repeat sections. Notes From the Designer: Ancient Indo-Europeans witnessed spectacular, awe-inspiring events in the heavens – powerful storms, dazzling meteor showers, and the ever-constant uncountable stars. It's no wonder they believed the sky to be the embodiment of a strong deity, one who makes an appearance in almost every Indo-European pantheon (think Thor, Zeus, Dyaus Pita, Perkunas). The "Sky-Father" scarf pays homage to these ideas of cosmic strength with the striking lightning bolt cables. The zig-zag pattern moves across the body of the scarf, creating an eye-catching texture akin to lightning dancing across the sky. The wearer will always carry the powers of the sky wherever they sport this gorgeous scarf. This scarf is a perfect companion to the "[Earth-Mother][5]" scarf. * Gauge is important to this project, so please take the time to make a gauge swatch to ensure your gauge matches the designer’s gauge. * All odd-numbered rows are the RS; all even-numbered rows are the WS. * Post stitches (FPdc, FPvst, FPdc2tog) are worked on the RS only. * Except for Row 5, all post stitches are worked around the next unworked post stitch 2 rows below. * Remember that all post stitches will have a skipped stitch behind them. * Chart can be found on page 7 of pattern. Designed by Kelly Baum-Sehon Erratum: Row 7: Ch 1, *sc, 2 FPdc, sc*, ** **4** sc, [FPdc, sc] 4 times, rep from ** twice more, rep from * to * once more, turn.
