| Materials: | |
| Needles: | #7 straight needles |
| Yarn: | 2 skeins Lion Brand Wool-Ease (or other worsted weight) in the color of your choice (not too dark or light, though, otherwise the stitch pattern will not be visible) |
Gauge:
Not that important since it's just a scarf, but too loose a gauge will make this stitch pattern look lacey. That's fine if you want it, but I don't think it works with this pattern.
~5 stitches per inch
~6 rows per inch
Stitch Explanation:
K—knit
P—purl
st(s)—stitch(es)
sl—slip next stitch
MK—Make knot: Purl 3 together, leave the 3 sts on the left needle. Yarn over. Purl 3 together again through same 3 sts still on left needle.
Note:
The knots in this pattern are essentially little bobbles, so I highly recommend experience working with bobbles. Unlike bobbles, however, the knots increase and decrease stitches in the same row, so you don't need to worry about increasing or decreasing in the following row. I.e., for each knot, you start with 3 sts and wind up with 3 sts all in the same row.
Pattern:
Cast on 30 sts (multiple of 3 sts).
Work two rows of seed stitch, slipping the first st in each row.
Rows 1, 3, and 5: Sl 1. K to end.
Row 2: Sl 1. MK across till last 2 sts. P2.
Row 4: Sl 1, P1. MK across till last st. P1.
Row 6: Sl 1, P2. MK across.
Repeat rows 1-6 until scarf reaches desired length.
Work two rows of seed stitch, slipping the first st in each row. Cast off. Weave in ends; block.
