I made this scarf for Cassie McLaughlin as a gifty. I used the Lion Brand Fishermen’s Wool. I loved the yarn, I think it’dmake an excellent sweater.
Here’s the link to the original pattern. But of course I made some changes. I basically repeated the pattern to make it wider.
Here’s the pattern.
Seed stich first 5 rows.
Row 6: P1, k1, p1, k1, p across to last 4 sts, p1, k1, p1, k1
Maitain 4 seed st on each side of panel now begins leaf pattern.
Pattern Row 1 (row 7): Seed st border, p1, k3, k2tog, k1, yo, p2, yo, k1, ssk, k3, p2, k3, ssk, k1, yo, p2, yo, k1, k2tog, k3, p1, border.
Pattern Row 2 and every even pattern row: Border, k1, p6, k2, p6, k2, p6, k2, p6, k1, border.
Patter Row 3: Border, p1, k2, k2tog, k1, yo, k1, p2, k1, yo, k1, ssk, k2, p2, k2, ssk, k1, yo, k1, p2, k1, yo, k1, k2tog, k2, p1, border.
Pattern Row 5: Border, p1, k1, k2tog, k1, yo, k2, p2, k2, yo, k1, ssk, k1, p2, k1, ssk, k1, yo, k2, p2, k2, yo, k1, k2tog, k1, p1, border.
Pattern Row 7: Border, p1, k2tog, k1, yo, k3, p2, k3, yo, k1, ssk, p2, ssk, k1, yo, k3, p2, k3, yo, k1, k2tog, p1, border.
Pattern Row 8: Same as 2.
Repeat these 8 rows until desired length. End with 5 more seed st rows.
Stacia, that is beautiful!! I have got to re-learn how to knit so I can make things like this! My Grandma taught me when I was probably around 11 or 12, and I’ve totally forgotten how. Maybe I’ll have to take lessons from you!!
Athena, we’d LOVE for you to learn how to knit again!
And I’d be happy to give you lessons! My grandma taught me when I was like 8, and then I taught myself again in college, but didn’t do much with it. But when Stephanie retaught me it was easy to learn because I had muscle memory, even if I hadn’t knitted that much in the past.
Your scarf looks amazing! How many sts did you cast on?
Thanks, Sara!
Of course I’d forget the most important part. It looks like I cast on 40 stitches. 32 for the design and 4 on each side for the seed stitch border.
