Fibonacci Scarf

[AdenPenn]

This is the first pattern I have made from my 2008 Crochet A Day calendar. I have two math teacher friends who are going to get this neat scarf for Christmas this year.

 

I got the first one done last night.

 

 

 

I used I Love This Yarn! for the first time and it was wonderful to work with. So soft and pretty.

Oh man that is so cool. At first I was wondering how someone would make a Fibonacci scarf, but seeing that made me laugh. The color changing makes perfect sense. I think I need to make one of these, just because I'm a math dork too.

I have no idea what that maths term is, but the scarf is very pretty. I'll have to go google the maths thing now, aaargh, feel like I'm back in school

The simple answer is that the Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where the last two numbers are added together to get the next number in the series (1+1=2, 1+2=3, 2+3=5 . . .). It starts with two ones:

 

1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 . . .

 

So for the scarf pattern, there's 1 row of green, 1 of white, 2 of green, 3 of white, 5 of green, and so on.
