Yarn: Fingering weight yarn, approximately 370 yards. I used one skein of Celestial Merino in the Sugar Maple colorway. Needles: US 5 Notions: two stitch markers, blocking wires (optional but highly recommended), tapestry needle Gauge: 7 sts to the inch (blocked). Measurements:30" X 10" (unblocked); 46" X 12" (blocked) Cast on 58 stitches. (52 sts pattern, 3 sts each side garter border) Knit five rows garter. set-up row: knit 3, pm, purl to last two, pm, knit 3 Lace pattern: row 1: k3, k2, * yo, k1tbl, yo, sl1, k1, psso, k5* k2, k3 row 2: k3, p6, * p2togtbl, p7*, p2togtbl, p5, k3 row 3: k3, k2, * yo, k1tbl, yo, k2, sl1, k1, psso, k3*, k2, k3 row 4: k3, p4, * p2togtbl, p7*, k3 row 5: k3, k2, * k1tbl, yo, k4, sl1, k1, psso, k1, yo*, k2, k3 row 6: k3, p3, * p2togtbl, p7*, p1, k3 row 7: k3, k2, * k5, k2tog, yo, k1tbl, yo*, k2, k3 row 8: k3, p5, * p2tog, p7*, p2tog, p6, k3 row 9: k3, k2, * k3, k2tog, k2, yo, k1tbl, yo*, k2, k3 row 10: k3, * p7, p2tog*, p4, k3 row 11: k3, k2, * yo, k1, k2tog, k4, yo, k1tbl*, k2, k3 row12: k3, p1, * p7, p2tog*, p3, k3 Do twenty pattern repeats (240 rows). Knit 5 rows. Bind off. Finishing: Weave in ends. Soak scarf in lukewarm water for 20 minutes, then stretch tightly and block. I got great results using blocking wires, as they allow for a nice straight edge and won’t require every pin in the house. |
