FUN WAYS TO WORK WITH NEW

STITCH PATTERNS AND YARNS.

Ive gathered 7 free scarf knitting patterns

here for you here; I know youll find at least

one that strikes your fancy!

TheSpiral Scarfby Laura Bryant is simply

beautiful. Its knit in cushy merino yarn,

using short-rows to make the wedge shapes

that cause the scarf to spiral as its knit. This

is a great project for learning or practicing

short-rows. Use an angora yarn between the

wedges to add a wisp of softness.

Working yarn is wrapped around the stitch.

Turn and work to beginning of row. Repeat thisaction at each turning point. If working garter

stitch, this is all you need dowhen all stitches of

the row have been engaged, simply turn and knitacross all stitches:

Short Row Savvyan IntroductionLaura Bryant2010

The concept of short rows is easysimply work a portion of the stitches in a row, then

turn and work back, building more height on one side with an extra partial row. Continue

to stack more and more rows onto the base while stepping the stitches over and you will

see an angled shape that can either repeat for a curved edge, or be balanced in the

other direction for flat fabric with dynamic diagonal design lines.

The key to successful short rows is to wrap the

working yarn around the next stitch before

each turn (known as a wrap and turn and

abbreviated to w & t).

Work across the number of designated stitches,bring working yarn forward between needles as if

to purl:

Slip next st as if to purl:

Put yarn back between needles and return the

slipped stitch to left hand needle:

Break yarn. Thread tail through

rem sts, pull tightly to create a

rosette, and secure with a few

overcast stitches.

NOTES

The scarf shown here uses only one

ball of yarn; knit the rosette first to

ensure that you have enough yarn tocomplete it. Then work the scarf until

the remaining yarn is used up.

The needles used for this pattern are

larger than indicated on the ball band.

To change the scale of the lace pattern,

use a different weight of yarn, but use

a larger needle than usual for the yarn.
