Knitting Pattern Central. Column of Leaves. Printer-friendly version(includes charted pattern) My original scarf was made with Mountain Colors 4/8 Wool, a worsted weight yarn, on size 7 needles. But you can do this on any size yarn and needles you want - even lace weight yarn.

This pattern is very easy to memorize after a few repeats, making for quick and fun work. And don't forget to block it after you're done! That is the key step in making the leaf pattern lie flat and become really defined. Yarn: I used one and a half skeins of Mountain Colors 4/8s wool, which is worsted weight and has 250 yds per 100 gm skein. So that would be about 375 yards of worsted weight yarn. Dimensions: With a worsted weight yarn, the scarf is approximately 6 inches wide and 73 inches long.

(edit) I have made myself a knitting symbol font, and it is fixed width, and it allows for increases in the middle of cable crossings, and it makes "knit" and "purl" look very very different. And so I have charted out the branches of my tree using my font. (The previous version used the Aire River Design font.) (There are some minor differences between the tree in the picture and this chart. Specifically, the leaves are bigger and more spaced apart, which means that there are fewer of them, and I've moved it up a little.) The key to these charts is here. This tree is worked as a rectangular panel. This is an alternative version of the last few rows, that you can use if you're also putting your tree on a Rogue. It's in three pieces because, frankly, it looks like a mess if it isn't.

Note that these are half-charts. Edit: Oh, right! This is where I have the biggest modifications from what I did before. The trunk is just a three-stitch knit rib all the way up.

They can be found in the book 'Ameliaranne at the Circus'. The first Ameliaranne story was published way back in 1920 in the days when families like hers were very often large and very often poor. Over the years the stories were penned by a variety of authors but the wonderful illustrations were always produced by Susan B Pearce. (This book was written by Margaret Gilmour) 1). In this story Ameliaranne finds a runaway elephant with a sore trunk and takes the injured animal home.2).

At the sight of a wild animal at the door her poor overworked mother cries "Mercy me, it's an ephelunt! This little elephant pattern is easy to knit. You could make each elephant a different colour if you wish or, if you're not a knitter, then why not try using the graph for cross stitch. Stitch Pattern Library.
