My sister is a die hard Pittsburgh Steelers Fan...she even has a tattoo of the Steelers logo. I won't tell you where.
Go Steelers! Lace Scarf By Golden Gracie Designs
I thought the zig zag look of this pattern was a little like when a player, say Terry Bradshaw, is running down the field with the ball for the winning touchdown! The yarn overs are the fans, or the yard lines. One could go a little zany with the symbolism. Enjoy! Size/ Finished Measurements: One size fits all/approximately 7 x 88 Materials: vorite team colors). I imagine that it would also look pretty in a solid. I used Spindle Cat Studios Tabbioca. Recommended Needle Size: I knit very loosely, I am told. I used size 5 needles.
Gauge:
Is not terribly important, but you do want to be sure that your non yarn-over stitches are close together so the yo's are more pronounced. This said, if you like it looser, don't let me stop you! The pattern is a modification of a stitch from Barbara Walker's A Treasury of Knitting Patterns Schoolhouse Press,1998. There is a knit 1, yarn over at the beginning of every Right Side (RS) row and a yarn over, knit1 at the end of every Right Side (RS) row. Most Wrong Side (wS) rows will be purled except for the first and last stitches, those are knitted. Think in groups of seven. The purl ridges are at intervals of 7 and 14 yarn overs. I like symmetry, so I did them that way. You can lengthen the scarf or make it shorter by eliminating one grouping of the pattern and purl ridge. It's easier than it seems...try it.
