ZickZack Scarf Pattern
An impressive yet easy to knit scarf in the style of a great Italian designer. The chevrons are worked with single increases and decreases - no knots in your fingers trying to knit complicated double decreases and no double increases where the stitches get tight and hard to work With.. Material: C1 - Lang Yarns Mille Colori Baby, Colour 51 (2 balls) C2 - Lang Yarns Mille Colori Baby, Colour 52 (2 balls) (Or any selfstriping fingering weight / sock yarn where the colour changes are not tooslow.) Knitting needle US 2% - 3.0 mm Size of finished scarf: ca. 0.23 x 1.60 m (9 x 63 inches)
Instructions:
I have written out the instructions for clarity but in truth it really is just one pattern repeat that is knit over and over and over - eight times per row and then row by row... With C1 cast on 96 st. Row1 with C1: [k5 k2tog k4 kfb] repeat 7 more times (8 repeats in total) Row2 [k5 k2tog k4 kfb] repeat 7 more times (8 repeats in total) Row3 with C2: [k5 k2tog k4 kfb] repeat 7 more times (8 repeats in total) Row4 [k5 k2tog k4 kfb] repeat 7 more times (8 repeats in total) Repeat rows 1-4. When changing yarn colour just leave the "old" yarn hanging to the back and take up the new thread. This way the edge with the colour changes will look just as neat as the other edge. Knit the scarf as long as the yarn suffices and bind off not too tightly. Here is the chart for the pattern repeat for the friends of charted patterns @ :
