Lion Brand® Lion® Wool
GAUGE: 16 sts + 24 rows = 4 in. [10 cm] in St st (k on RS, p on WS) before felting. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
STITCH EXPLANATION: STRIPE PATTERN
Working in St st, work *2 rows with A, 4 rows with B, 2 rows with C; rep from * for Stripe Pattern. |
NOTES: Scarf is knit using a slightly unusual technique to create fringe. After knitting, stitches are dropped to create loose strands and the scarf is felted.
