This seems to be my current favorite scarf design. It's quick & easy, but has a little more flair than a regular garter stitch scarf (with a nice edge). Best of all, there's really no right or wrong side when finished. Both sides have a distinctive look, but both very flattering. The blue of the Azul Profundo is pretty washed out in these photos, but that's what I get from my camera phone and CFL lighting at 11pm...Yarn: Malabrigo Worsted (in Azul Profundo) - 100% Merino Wool - 1 skein *double-stranded for quicker knitting in this pattern
Needles: (US 15, but it doesn't really matter - just find a needle size you like for the yarn)Gauge: (I don't remember, but it doesn't really matter - just find a gauge you like for the pattern)
Pattern:
CO odd number of stitches.
Odd rows: Slip one knitwise, *bring yarn to front, slip purlwise, bring yarn to back, knit one* repeat to end of row.
Even rows: Slip one knitwise, knit across.
Continue until you've reached the length you like. Cast off after completing an odd row.
Hi there! I'm a beginning knitter and want to make this scarf for my nephew. Quick question: after casting on, do you consider the next row as your first or second row? Wondering if row after CO should be considered an odd or even row (1 or 2). Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHmm... I think the row after CO is row one. That's pretty normal, right?! It's been a while since I've done this! It's a pretty forgiving pattern, so have fun with it!
ReplyDeleteI believe the number of cast on stitiches needs to be a multiple of 3.
