This scarf is not your ordinary accessory - it is a statement piece that adds a touch of sophistication to any outfit. The gathered rib design gives the scarf a luxurious feel, making it the perfect accessory for those chilly days when you want to stay warm and stylish at the same time. Whether you choose to drape it loosely around your neck or wrap it snugly for extra warmth, this scarf is sure to turn heads wherever you go. The intricate knitting pattern adds depth and dimension to the scarf, making it a must-have item for anyone looking to elevate their winter wardrobe.
Yarn: Lana Grossa Cinque Multi (60% Virgin Wool, 40% Polyacrylic; 164 yards [150 meters]/50 grams); #013 - two to three skeins
Needles: Straight needles in size US 6
Notions: Tapestry needle
Gauge: 20 stitches = 4 inches in stockinette
And now that we've got all of that covered, let's make a scarf! To begin with, then cast on 50 stitches loosely. Then, we'll work as follows:
Rows 1, 3, 5, & 7 (wrong side): slip 1 stitch purlwise with yarn in back (sl1 wyib), k1, (p6, k4) four times, p6, k2
Rows 2, 4, & 6: slip 1 stitch purlwise with yarn in front (sl1 wyif), p1, (k6, p4) four times, k6, p2
Row 8: sl1 wyif, p1, (k2tog through back loops [k2tog-tbl], k2, k2tog, p4) four times, k2tog-tbl, k2, k2tog, p2
Row 9: sl1 wyib, k1, (slip 4 stitches with yarn in back, bring yarn to front between needles, slip the same 4 stitches back to your left hand needle, pass yarn to back between needles, and then slip the same to stitches with yarn in back again, k4) four times, slip 4 stitches with yarn in back, bring yarn to front between needles, slip the same 4 stitches back to your left hand needle, pass yarn to back between needles, and then slip the same to stitches with yarn in back again, k2
Row 10: sl1 wyif, p1, (k1, m1r, k2, m1l, k1, p4) four times, k1, m1r, k2, m1l, k1, p2
Knit rows 1 - 10 until scarf reaches desired length or you run out of yarn (my suggested minimum is 48" - the scarf pictured measures about 52"). Finally, tuck in ends and block!
