The Thistle Scarf is a Lace scarf knit using 2 skeins (44 g) of Luxurious Buffalo Down (100% Buffalo, 155-160 yds per 22 g) from Cottage Craft Angora. The yarn is a natural, chocolate brown and incredibly soft.
The thistle pattern starts small near the end of the scarf and grows larger as it approaches the centre of the scarf, and then transitions to a diamond leaf pattern.In spite of its lacy appearance, the “halo” from the yarn makes this a nice, warming scarf for those cool spring/fall evenings.
Blocked dimensions:
l: 190 cm (76"), w: 25 cm (10")
You can download a .pdf version of this pattern using PayPal for $8.00CDN.
Lorraine of Cottage Craft Angora is offering a discount on the Luxury Buffalo Down yarn to the knitters who would like to knit the Thistle Scarf. The yarn can be purchased from her web-site for $20/skein (as opposed to the regular price of $22) with a discount code that can be obtained from me with the purchase of the pattern.

I love this scarf! I clicked Buy Now but was only taken to my PayPal account. I do want to buy the pattern. Suggestions?
Thank you! I'm not sure what was going on with PayPal, but it all seems better now. Happy knitting!
Hi there! I'm not sure if anyone else has commented or e-mailed you about this, but I'm hoping that you will add you "Burridge Lake Aran Afghan" pattern to your website, as a PDF or just regular text with cable charts, or anything of the sort. I was at Magknits literally four days ago admiring the afghan, almost saved the whole page to my harddrive, almost did the same for a few other patterns there, but didn't because I figured "Eh, it's MAGKNITS, it's always going to be around, like Knitty!".
Sigh. I wish there had been anything on the website anywhere about the site coming down, but I didn't see it. Maybe I missed it, but I don't think I did :( But, I was fortunate enough to remember where it was (well, what the blogger's site looked like, visually, and I just had to go back in my history to find the blogs I looked at the same day as I checked the afghan out. So yay, I found you, and I hope you'll be able to upload it so those of us who were interested in it can have the pattern :)
Thank you for taking the time to address this, regardless of the outcome, but most especially thank you for any time you spend loading it to your site and the formatting and such required!
That's beautiful. I've been working on one for years using the thistle pattern from BW's 2nd Treasury. But I find the repeat too many rows to carry around in my mind and it gets shifted to the bottom of the pile. Maybe now I'll get to it...
