Papa scarf
Yarn: 200gr aprox. of natural patagonic sheep wool in 3 different colors (worsted) Needles: 6mm (10US) Crochet hook Finished size: 16x150cm (6x59in)
Needle and finished size depend on the fiber, I used different wool in similar thickness but with natural fibers you usually find that the strand changes along the skein. I had to switch to 5.5mm (9us) needles at some point to keep the gauge, so if you use natural fibers make sure you are checking the gauge as you knit. ne row of single crochet on the sides to keep the color changes hidden Cast on 25 stitches with Color 1 Row 1: (K - P - K - P) repeat to the end of the row. Last stitch will be K. Row 2: (K - P - K - P ) repeat to the end of the row. Repeat rows 1 and 2 for 12cm (5in). Change to color 2 and repeat rows 1 and 2 for 5 rows (knit row 1, row 2, row 1, row 2, row 1) Go back to color 1 and knit stockinette stitch for 5 rows as follows: Row 1: knit all stitches Row 2: purl all stitches Row 3: knit all stitches Row 4: purl all stitches Row 5: knit all stitches Change to color 3 and knit stockinette stitch for 5 rows as follows: Row 1: knit all stitches Row 2: purl all stitches Row 3: knit all stitches Cecilia Gonzalez @ www.mislanitas.com.ar Row 4: purl all stitches Row 5: knit all stitches
You will be knitting 5 rows of stockinette stitch switching color ALWAYS STARTING WITH A KNIT ROW, so when you look at the scarf you'll see 5 rows of right side stockinette and 5 rows of wrongsidestockinette. Continue to knit right side and wrong side stockinette stitch switching colors for 120cm (50in) or desired length. Change color and knit: Row 1: (K - P - K - P) repeat to the end of the row. Last stitch will be K. Row 2: (K - P - K - P ) repeat to the end of the row. Row 3: (K - P - K - P) repeat to the end of the row. Row 4: (K - P - K - P ) repeat to the end of the row. Row 5: (K - P - K - P ) repeat to the end of the row. Go back to color 1 and repeat rows 1 to 5 for 12cm (5in) Bind off. Single crochet all around to hide the rough tails of the color change.
