Lace Scarf, recycled yarn from frogged project
This scarf is so light and airy that it almost floats off the chair. It's 10" wide by 4 feet long, and took only 250 yards of yarn.
Materials: 250 yds of thin yarn (grade 2), US6 needles for a fuzzy mohair blend, as used here. If you use a tighter yarn, you may want to use US4 or 5.
Instructions: CO 44 stitches, K three rows. Begin pattern.
Pattern:
Row1: K
Row 2: K first two, P across to last 2 st., K 2.
Row 3: *K2, YO, P1, P3tog, P1, YO*, k2.
Row 4: K2, P across to last 2 st., K2.
Repeat for desired length, or until yarn is almost gone, then K three rows. BO.
Note: There are two things with this pattern that are a little tricky. First, you will use two different methods to YO, since one YO is done before a P stitch and one before a K stitch. Next, in order to achieve the P3tog with ease, you cannot use a needle much smaller than a US4 or 5, and you should push the three stitches together on the left needle before working them. After a few pattern repeats, it should all become automatic.
This is a truly lovely scarf--silky and crushable. I hope some of you try to make it.
