Summer Scarf

I was inspired by the nice spring weather to design a pretty and relatively easy lace scarf that can be used all summer.

Materials:

• 2 skeins of Madil’s Eden 100% bamboo yarn
• #7 needles

Something to remember about this pattern is that the number of stitches across varies. In Rows 1, 2, and 10, you have 32 stitches. In Row 2, you decrease to 29 stitches and then in Row 9 you increase again to 32 stitches. Don’t worry. It all works out and looks just fine.

Cast on 32 sts.

Knit 3 rows.

Begin pattern stitch (10 rows total):

Row 1: Knit

Row 2: K2, purl until 2 sts remain, K2

Row 3: K5, *K2tog, YO SSK, K5 * repeat 3 times

Row 4 and all even numbered rows: Repeat Row 2

Row 5: K4, * K2tog, YO, K1, YO, SSK, K3* repeat 3 times, K1

Row 7: K3, *K2tog, YO K3, YO, SSK, K1* repeat 3 times, K2

Row 9: K4, *YO, K1, Sl1, K2 (not together, just knit ’em), pass slipped stitch over both knits, K1, YO, K3*, K1

Row 10: Repeat Row 2

Repeat Rows 1-10 until you are almost out of yarn.

Knit 3 rows.

Bind off.
