This is my thirteenth scarf. This is a scarf I've been wanting to make since I walked into my local knitting store and saw it.
I had to use three needles for this (including a cable needle).
I used thicker yarn for this pattern (I'm not sure of the weight, but the wrapping suggesting using size US 11 needles with it). For this particular pattern, I used size US 13 needles with a larger cable needle. I needed approximately 110 yards of yarn for this pattern.
Abbreviations:
K: Knit
CN: Cable Needle
Cast On = any multiple of 4 + 2
I cast on 14 sts (I like a thinner scarf)
Using size 3 light weight yarn, use size US 9 needles
Using worsted weight yarn, use size US 10 needles
My yarn called for size US 11 needles, so I used size US 13 needles
Pattern Stitch:
Row 1: Knit
Row 2 and all even numbered rows: Purl
Row 3: *Work right crossover on 2 sts as follows: slip 2 sts on to sn and hold in back of work, K2, K2 from cn*; repeat from *to*, ending K last 2 sts
Row 5: K2, *work left crossover on 4 sts as follows: slip 2 cn and hold in front of work, K2, K2 from cn*; repeat from *to*.
Repeat rows 3 through 6 for this pattern.
It is very important to end on a row where a cable needle was used (row 3 or 5) before casting off... otherwise the end of the scarf will bell outward.
i'm amazed at how much work you put into these! where'd the name for this come from, hmmm??? and it looks good!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I would love to say I named this scarf after Zoey the cat, but the pattern was already named Zoey when I bought it. However, maybe that's why I like it so much :)
ReplyDeleteLove this scarf! I saw it in a knitting shop in Cheapeake City already made. The shop was out of the pattern and I have been trying to find it ever since. Thanks for the post.
