But don't let that scare you off - this is such an easy pattern you will memorize it quickly and knit it whilst watching you favourite tv show.
Here's how it goes :
choose your yarn carefully. I have seen this pattern knit in bulky yarn, very nice for a guy ! In sports it's rather dull, but in mohair it is the most lovely scarf ever ! Choose your needles according to the effect you want to get; like needles 6 mm with a fine kid mohair gives a fluffy result : a very soft and light scarf.
I choose this kid mohair with little sequins in, in a light taupe. this colour goes well with everything I wear.
just a little bling bling |
It's a great scarf ! |
Cast on a multiple of 4 (like 16, or 24 or even 80 stitches) I cast on 44. Knit 2 rows.
Always start with 4 knit stiches. then follow the pattern : (YO, K2tog, K2) repeat until there are 4 stiches left on the needle. knit 4 stiches.
Turn. Do this every needle. End with 2 knit rows. Cast off very loosely. (check Youtube for loose cast of) I like this method : knit 2 stiches together, put that loop back on the left needle. knit 2 stiches together, put that loop back on the left needle. and so on until all stiches are cast of.
Wouldn't that be a nice xmas present for a loved one ?
happy knitting !
In het Nederlands :
Zet een veelvoud van 4 op (ik zette 44 steken op)
Brei 2 naalden rechts
Brei patroon als volgt :
4 steken rechts * 1 omslag, 2 st rechts samenbreien, 2 steken rechts* herhaal wat tussen de * staat tot er nog 4 steken op je naald staan. Brei de laatste 4 steken rechts. Herhaal deze naald tot je sjaal lang genoeg is. (brei je bolletje maar op :-)
Brei op het eind nog 2 naalden rechts en kant erg los af.
