This 8-shaft scarf is absolutely stunning woven in 60/2 silk.  The beauty of the pattern shines with the use of two slightly different colors.  For a bolder fabric, you could use a stronger contrast.  With so many color options in our 60/2 silk, the possibilities are endless!  This draft appeared in a book of Finnish weaving drafts.  It is commonly known as a snowflake pattern; the structure is an 8-shaft advancing twill. Available as a downloadable PDF only.
