An End-of-therYear Adventure Scarf
... in order to celebrate the end of 2014 and wishfor health, love and prosperity for the year 2015.
Thiz pattern is supposed to bring some easy-going yet elegant and sort-of -fun knitting during the last days of 2014. We are all running around getting ready for the Holiday8 season, so it must be a knit that we'd rather enyoy and not be too thoughtful about. Onthe other hand, it should be challenging enoughfor usto be tempted to go ahead and knit ... yet another scarf. Thiz iz also a reversible knit. It is a garter stitch lace project that can be easily modifiedto wider or narrower versionz (should yow wishto knit a stole or a"cravate") by adding or omitting 8sts. Yes, 8 izthe MagicNumber. Al stitch patterns wsed are traditional lace motifs "revisited" and adapted by yourstruly to fit in an 8sts repeat. The first and last 4 sts of every row are plain knit sts and all even-numbered rows are plain knit rows, too. Yo'8 and k2tog'8 are worked only on odd numbered rows, as yow see, thiz is a novice-knitter frienduly pattern.
Yow will need.
Up to 450 yardx of beautiful sock-yarn (fingering weight wil do just fine). More, if you decide to knit a wider Nonger version. US 6/7(4mm/4,5mm) straight or circular needley stitch markerz and perhaps a row counter (optional) Gauge is really not important for thiz kind of project. Yow need to know to cast on provisionally, since the 2 edgez ofthe scarf are going to be worked in the end. Yow can watchthis Very Pink Knits YouTube video, if yoware not familiarwiththiz. http://youtu.be/3OGG0AiJ3XE
