What you need:
Directions:
Select one of the versions of the stitch and, holding Yarn A and one mini ball of novelty yarn together, cast on*** the appropriate number of stitches. Knit in garter stitch until you have used up all the novelty yarn. Stop the novelty yarn at the end of a row, not in the middle.
Attach Yarn B (if you are not using bulky yarn) and begin pattern stitch. Continue knitting in pattern until scarf measures 60 inches less what the first Yarn A/novelty combo measured. Stop Yarn B at the end of a row (not in the middle). Attach the second mini ball of novelty yarn.
Begin knitting in garter stitch and continue until you have just enough Yarn A/novelty yarn to cast off. Cast off. Weave in ends.
-
Knit Version A: Cast on 10 or 12 stitches (must be even number of stitches) or whatever you need to make a scarf at least 4 inches wide but not wider than 5-inches.
Every Row: knit 1, *YO, knit 2 together* until the end (do not YO before the last stitch), knit 1. Continue until scarf measures 60 inches long. Cast off. Weave in ends.
-
Knit Version B: Cast on 12 stitches (must be multiples of 3) or whatever you need to make a scarf up to 5-inches wide.
Every Row: *Knit 1, YO, Knit 2 together* until the end of the row. Continue until scarf measures 60-inches long.
Cast off. Weave in ends.
-
Purl Version: Cast on 12 stitches (must be multiples of 3) or whatever you need to make a scarf up to 5-inches wide.
Every Row: *Purl 1, YO, Knit 2 together, bring yarn forward* until the end of the row. Continue until scarf measures 60-inches long. Cast off. Weave in ends.
Please sign the Handmade tag with your first name and attach it to your scarf. ***Many knitters find that the cable cast on works particularly well for scarves. It is very firm and it looks just like the cast off. I think you will like it too.
