Striped Phynn
By Vywyan Neel htt;//naappycamper.eponym.com/blog After making up the mostly solid colored Original version of this scarf, I thought I'd try it with full length stripes. The scarf itself is a very easy piece to make as every row is knit (Garter Stitch) but be careful at the edges when changing colors. The flared ends are created by working short rows at each end of the scarf. If a longer scarf is desired, Just cast on more stitches (use your gauge swatch to help determine additional inches).
Materials:
Blue Sky Alpaca Sport Weight (l O0% baby alpaca) 50 gms/l 10 yds. colors: Black (510) MC, Avocado (520) CC1, Vivid Lilac (528) CC2, Tangerine (521) CC3 Red (511) CC4 I skein each color US #5 (3.75 mm) 24" (or larger) circular needle (see Note 5) Tapestry needle Small safety pin or stitch marker that can be removed (for marking Right Side of scarf) Gauge: 16 sts x 44 rows in garter st
Finished size:
4l inches long by 2.5 inches wide \*Flare at ends is 4.5 inches wide
Abbrevations:
$\mathsf{K}=\mathsf{K}\mathsf{n}\mathsf{t}$ $\mathsf{P}=\mathsf{P}\mathsf{u}\mathsf{r}|$ WT $=$ With yarn in back, sllp next st as if to purl. Bring yarn forward between the needles and slip st back to rlght needle. Turn work (otherwise known as a “wrap and turn"). CO $=$ cast on St $=$ stitch $\mathsf{R S}=$ right side WS $=$ wrong side Note I: You'll be able to make several scarves from this amount of yarn. Note 2: When working the W\$T make sure to keep the wrap loose so it doesn't create a hole at that spot. Do not knit the wrap when you reach that point in the next row. Note 3: To keep edges neat, when changing colors at the ends of a row bring previous color forward and over the new color so the yarns will twist or wrap around each other. This will prevent long floats of yarn at the edges. Break yarn when changing between CC colors and weave in the ends are you knit. Do not break MC until scarf is complete. Note 4: A small ball of contrasting yarn should be made by cutting a 12 yard plece from the MC skein. This small ball will be referred to as MC2. MCl will refer to the larger skein. As an alternative to cutting this long length of yarn, use both ends of the skein. Note 5: When casting on and binding off, you may want to use the next needle size up to insure that the stitches are loose enough.
