Freshwater Wavex Scarf
Gentle ruffles and waves flow down both sides of this lightweight cotton/viscose scarf. It is easy and satisfying to knit, resulting in a very soft and flowing texture, that may be fashioned it many ways. It is approximately 4" wide x 70"long. The finished scarf reminds me of the approaching warm weather, the beach, summer breezes and our wonderful lakeshereinMinnesota.
Materials:
Two balls of Classic Elite Yarns, Sanibel. The color shown is #1349 Blue, 125 yards per ball. Size 7 circular needles in at least a 40" inch length. (I used a 60" cable because I wanted to see the length of the scarf as I was working on it.) Stitch markers (optional). Yarn needle. Notes: The scarf is knit lengthwise from side to side, beginning with the “knitted cast on" or "knit on cast on" Knitted Cast on: Make a slipknot and tension it on your left needle. Knit the stitch but do not take it off your needle. In other words, just draw a loop through the slipknot as if to knit and place it back on your left needle. Now you have two stitches. Knit the stitch just placed on the left needle but do not take it off the needle. Place the loop back on the left needle. Now you have three stitches. Repeat the process, always knitting into the last stitch placed on the left needle. Keep going until you have cast on the desired number of stitches. You will not turn your work to begin knitting the first row because you will end the cast on with all your stitches on the left needle and your working yarn is in position to start knitting your first row from here.
