\"lacy<\/em>I really need to stop impulse-buying yarn. Once again I had to come up with a plan for one skein, this time a gorgeous ball of silk\/wool DK. A yarn this soft and lovely\u2014and expensive\u2014is made to be shown off, and a little scarf\/neckwarmer is a great solution. The sparse yardage could be stretched a bit with a lace pattern, and I elected to use a bow-knot-style keyhole rather than have to hunt for buttons to go with it, or have to use a pin.<\/p>\n

The lace stitch is a modified ostrich plume, I reduced the length of the repeat to work at a smaller overall size. If you have a bit more yardage you could make a slightly longer scarf, at 109 yards I used every bit of the ball that I had.<\/p>\n

It’s really tough to give a gauge for this. The alternating stitch pattern creates a wavy edge, which ranges from about 20\u201324 st per 4 inches. My recommendation: start knitting the scarf as your gauge swatch, when you get to the keyhole section, stretch it slightly to flatten it while you measure (you could even lightly wet-block it). It should measure about 4.25 inches long by 5.25 inches wide. If you’re worried about hitting gauge, use something that gives you a bit more yardage, then it won’t be as crucial.<\/p>\n

Finished Size<\/h4>\n

approx. 27.25 x 5 inches<\/p>\n

Yarn<\/h4>\n

DK weight, approx. 109 yds.\u2014sample knit with one ball of Rowan Silk Wool DK Geranium 310 Yarn<\/a>\"\" (using every single bit of that yardage)<\/p>\n

Needle Size<\/h4>\n

8 US \/ 5mm<\/p>\n

Notes<\/h3>\n

The pattern is written so that the scalloped ends are reversed; if you want them to match, work through row 13 of the pattern instead of stopping at row 5 (this will require a little more yardage).The chart shows only one repeat of the lace stitch, the entire scarf is two repeats wide plus two edging stitches on each side.<\/p>\n

Abbreviations<\/h3>\n

st = stitch<\/p>\n

K = knit<\/p>\n

P = purl<\/p>\n

yo = yarn over (increase)<\/p>\n

k2tog = knit 2 st together (decrease)<\/p>\n

ssk = slip, slip, knit\u2014slip st knitwise, slip 2nd st knitwise, put left needle back through st and knit them both together (decrease)<\/p>\n

Pattern<\/h3>\n

Cast on 28 st.<\/p>\n

Knit 2 rows.<\/p>\n

\"modifiedLace pattern<\/h4>\n

Row 1 (right side): K2, *k2tog twice, (yo, k1) 4 times, ssk twice; repeat from * once more, k2.<\/p>\n

Row 2 (and all wrong side rows): K2, p to last 2 st, k2.<\/p>\n

Row 3: Knit.<\/p>\n

Rows 5\u20138: Repeat rows 1\u20134.<\/p>\n

Row 9: K2, *(yo, k1) twice, ssk twice, k2tog twice, (yo, k1) twice; repeat from * once more, k2.<\/p>\n

Row 11: Knit.<\/p>\n

Rows 13\u201316: Repeat rows 9\u201312.<\/p>\n

Repeat rows 1\u20138.<\/p>\n

Keyhole<\/h4>\n

Divide st: slip first st to needle, slip second st to a stitch holder (or spare needle); continue across for all st.<\/p>\n

On one set of divided st, work 1×1 ribbing (k1, p1 across) for 12 rows.<\/p>\n

Break yarn, then work 1×1 ribbing on second set of divided st.<\/p>\n

Rejoin (with right side facing): k1 from one needle, k1 from second needle, continue alternating back and forth until all st are on 1 needle again.<\/p>\n

Continue lace pattern<\/h4>\n

Work a wrong side row (k2, p to last 2 st, k2), then start again with row 1 of the lace pattern.<\/p>\n

Work 6 more repeats (or until desired length, or until you nearly run out of yarn), then rows 1\u20135 once more.<\/p>\n

Knit 2 rows.<\/p>\n

Bind off. Weave in yarn ends, handwash and block.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
