Knitting a Mary Poppins Scarf

Mary Poppins scarf, as interpreted by meHere is how I made my Mary Poppins scarf:
Size 15 needles.
CO 20 using 2 strands of fine mohair yarn.
For the stripes, I knit four rows of each color.

Yarn that I used:
- Debbie Bliss Angel yarn. Super kid mohair (76%) and silk (24%). Color: Terracotta
- Rowan Kidsilk Haze made with super kid mohair. Color: Marmalade

This scarf will narrow out quite a bit when you block it. The yarn is very wispy and fine. With the bigger needles, it knits up pretty quickly. I used more fringe than MP had on her scarf but it looked pretty wimpy without it.
