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 enjoy 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. This iz also a reversible knit. It is a garter stitch lace project that can be easily modifiedto wider or narrower versionz (should you wishto knit a stole or a"crawate") 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 8sty repeat. The first and last 4 sts of every row are plain knit sts and al even-numbered rows are plain knit rows, too. Yo's and k2tog's are worked only on oddnumbered rowg, as yow see, thiz is a novice-knitter frienduly pattern.
Yow will need.
Up to 450 yardy 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 needto know to cast on provisionally, since the 2 edgez ofthe scarf are going to be worked in the end.
