Easy Drop Stitch Scarf Pattern
This scarf uses a horizontal drop stitch or seafoam pattern. It is fun and easy to make, and looks beautiful in a variegated yarn. It is well suited to yarns that are a little slippery or silky. If you would like to sell scarves made from this pattern, a commercial-use version is available at http://www.etsy.com/shop/frazzledknits
Materials:
Any DK or worsted weight yarn, especially variegateds, and appropriate needles for that yarn. You can use slightly larger needles than you would normally for your yarn for a bigger, slightly lacier scarf. I used 1 skein of Hand Maiden Lady Godiva (50% wool, 50% silk) in the "Dragonfly" colourway and 5mm needles.
Pattern:
· CO 26 stitches (or any multiple of 10 plus 6) ·Knit 4 rows Start pattern: · Row 1: K6, \*YO, K1, YO twice, K1, YO 3 times, K1, YO twice, K1, YO, K6\*, repeat between \*\* across. (On 26 sts, you will do the repeat TWICE) Row 2: Knit across, dropping all the yarnovers as you go. ·Rows 3& 4: Knit Row 5: K1, \*YO, K1, YO twice, K1, YO 3 times, K1, YO twice, K1, YO, K6\*, repeat between \*\* across, ending with a K1 instead of K6. (You will do the repeat one time more on this row than you did on Row 1.) . Row 6: Knit across, dropping all the yarnovers as you go. Rows 7 & 8: Knit · Continue these rows until almost out of yarn, or until scarf is as long as you want it. ·End with another 4 rows of garter stitch. ·Weave in your ends. Wash and block the scarf to really open up the pattern!
