Notes From the Designer:
A simple, yet gorgeous tube scarf inspired by a trip I took to London. Before getting on the Tube, the announcer would say, “mind the gap between the train and the platform.” I loved it! I designed and tested this pattern while riding to see the Dover Castle and while on the plane trip back home. With this scarf pattern, you work around and around, which forms a tube, so no purling is required. You’ll have this whipped out in no time!

Can't wait to start
I have yet to do a knit project with a pattern, but your patterns are easy to follow and if I get stuck I can always go to your YouTube channel and find the video for the pattern.
Knitting pattern
Have not made this as of yet but will get to it in time.
Mind the gap tube
Bella l'idea di ispirarsi alla metropolitana. Guardarla fa pensare anche a una strada a 2 corsie. Simpatica.
Mind The Gap
Oh gosh! I have received so many beautiful patterns from you I can't begin to get at them all. I am trying to finish up all the things I have begun over the past several years. But I am determined, at 78 yrs old to finish them all and make all the patterns I have collected. Oh dear!

Fun Pattern
This is such a fun pattern and it is so easy! I am also loving the yarn :)
Interesting knit
This looks like a very promising project. Unfortunately, I haven't cast-on yet as I've already got 3 other WIPs
Beautiful scarf
I had some tonal yarn in stash and couldn't find a pattern that would do it justice. I downloaded your free pattern and worked it up. The scarf is absolutely gorgeous. Thanks so much for this lovely pattern.
Sophisticated!
I'm in the middle of knitting this pattern and love how relaxing it is to knit. I'm using Chicago at Night Luster and the yarn is absolutely sumptuous. This pattern will be a favorite of mine as it has a sophisticated and classy look.
Great Pattern - Easy to Follow
This is a great pattern for a very classy scarf. Easy to read and great for a beginner that wants to have a finished product that doesn't look like a beginner's knit.
Incredibly easy to follow
I have applied your pattern to my scarf. It was incredibly easy to follow. very neat.i can easily adjusted the amount of stitches.
What a scarf!
Pattern is easy to follow and the end product is so beautiful!
a breeze to complete
This was a pleasure to create. I used 2 sk Yak silk sport on 4mm needles, and watched two gripping episodes of 'Blacklist' while knitting. It is a very easy pattern to get into. The finished size is bigger than the pattern guidelines, as I used larger needles, but I love it.
Great for beginners!
This pattern has been a breeze for me to work through, and I consider myself a beginner with needles. While I haven't finished the scarf just yet, it is working up to be something I'm proud of. I get to practice my knit stitch, but also yarn-overs and two-togethers, which are a couple of things I was a bit nervous about. The look is simple, and the "gaps" give it just the right amount of detail that I can wear it, or gift it to my dad or brother. (I'm gonna keep it!) ;)
Great gift
This will make a great gift!
Love this pattern

very easy pattern - works fast even for one like me who switches from project to project and back again
Great pattern - lovely to wear.
Made this while traveling to visit Vancouver Island and back. Lovely, easy to work with pattern. One day will save my pennies and use Chandi's yarn (gorgeous stuff!) and will make this again. Excellent pattern.
Excellent Pattern for Beautiful Item
This is a meticulously-written pattern for a unique and gorgeous scarf. The instructions are so clear and easily understood and the ultimate product is both utilitarian and decorative.
Thank You!!
Thank you so much for gifting another lovely pattern. I'm looking through my stash of beautiful yarns to choose the right one to start making this pattern. Love the name and the meaning behind it. Very touching!! Blessings!!
