What would a scarf made with sock self-striping yarn look like? I asked myself this question, bought 2 skeins of Moda Dea Sassy Stripes sock yarn and went to work with number 6 needles. Here’s the pattern:
Cast on 26 stitches.
Row 1 -Knit 3, *(slip e purlwise, knit 2), repeat across the row from *, ending with knit 3.
Row 2 – purl across the row.
Row 3 – Knit 1, *(slip e purlwise, knit 2), repeat across the row from *, ending with knit 1.
Row 4 – purl across the row.
Repeat rows 1-4 until you’ve used up two skeins of yarn. Cast off.
It’s a wonderful scarf, but it took three weeks to knit because I was using size 6 needles. The scarf is for JoAnne, whose birthday was back at the end of May. I am behind on birthday scarves.
When I have more time to knit (that is when the garden is asleep for the winter) I may even make a vest for myself out of this yarn.
