This scarf is a simple rectangle knit in garter stitch.
Cast on 50 (55, 60) sts and work in garter stitch until the piece measures 15 3/4" / 40 cm long.
Bind off the sts and weave in the ends.
BOW
Cast on 7 sts.
Work in garter stitch until the piece measures about 5" / 13 cm, then bind off.
Wrap the metallic yarn around the middle of the rectangle to form a bow shape. Wrap both ends of the yarn around several times to create a little sparkly band.
Knot the ends together 3 times, then trim them.
FINISHING
Sew the bow to the top right corner of the shawlette.
Sew a button to the top left corner of the rectangle, 2 3/4" / 7 cm from the left edge and 4" / 10 cm from the top.
To attach the shawlette around your neck, just slip the button through the stitches of the opposite side; the bow will hide the button.
CHILD SIZE (3-4 YEARS)
Use 1 skein of yarn. Cast on 45 sts and work in garter stitch until the piece measures 8 1/2" / 22 cm in all. Bind off and weave in the ends. To make the bow, cast on 6 sts and knit for 2 1/4" / 6 cm. Follow the rest of the instructions just as for the adult sizes.
