Pattern provided by: Pat Holbrook Size: The scarf is 7" wide and 59" long without fringe. Yarn: The stitches and rows mentioned here are for Yeomans Cashmilon 4-ply acrylic. This pattern is very simple and could be knit using almost any yarn by adjusting the stitches and rows to your own gauge. Printer-friendly version 1. Select 30 needles on each bed, set pitch to H, tension 0/0, make zigzag pass to the right. 2. Hang cast-on comb, move pitch back to P, set carriages for circular knitting. (Slip opposite direction each bed, just like your ribber cast-on.) 3. Set row counter to 0, tension to 6/6. Knit in the round until the row counter reads 450. You have knit 225 rows. Note: Some ribbers knit tighter than the main bed. Do a small sample and adjust the tension if necessary. 4. Set the row counter to 0. You are now going to knit a U shape. Brother: set left part button on the main carriage and right part button on the ribber carriage, and make 2 passes. Reverse part buttons to R main bed, L ribber, make 2 passes and repeat until the row counter reads 280. Studio: set the main carriage to slip, leave left side lever forward, push right side lever back, set right slip on ribber to 0 and make 2 passes. Reverse side levers on the main bed, slip button on the ribber, and make 2 passes. Repeat until the row counter reads 280. 5. Change back to circular knitting, as in step 2, set the row counter to 0 and make 450 passes. 6. Transfer ribber stitches to the main bed, knit 1 row across and bind off using the tapestry needle back stitch method. 7. To finish the opening: work a single crochet into the second stitch from the edge. Do not pull tight! Chain one, work a single crochet into the third stitch of the second knitted row, repeat around the opening. You will be working a single crochet into the third stitch on the second knitted row of stitches with a chain 1 between. 8. Block and attach fringe if desired. Return to Freebies Return to top
