Mixed-yarn 'Christensen' scarf (brown colorway)

Lion Brand® Homespun® - Fun Fur - Lion® Suede - Moonlight Mohair - Landscapes® - Fancy Fur

GAUGE:

8.5 sts = 4 inches in Garter st (k every row)
Row gauge will vary according to yarns and st pattern used. 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.

NOTES:

A circular needles used to accommodate the large number of stitches. Stitches are worked back and forth in rows.

Editor’s Note: When creating fringe using Homespun please note that because of the texture of the yarn the fringe will fray when cut. If you prefer a non-frayed look you can knot the ends, knit or crochet a fringe, or use hairspray or fray check.


SCARF

With A, cast on 139 sts loosely. Work in Garter st (knit every row) in stripe sequence as follows: 3 rows A, 3 rows using 1 strand each of B and C held tog, 3 rows using 1 strand each of C and D held tog, 4 rows E, 3 rows using 1 strand each of F and G held tog, 3 rows E, 1 row using 1 strand each of B and C held tog, 2 rows A. Bind off loosely with A.

FINISHING

Weave in ends.

Cut 9" [23 cm] lengths of assorted yarns to use as fringe. For each fringe, hold 6 strands tog. Fold strands in half and, with crochet hook, pull fold through Scarf, forming a loop. Pull ends of fringe through this loop. Pull to tighten. Attach fringes evenly across each short end of Scarf.
