Glacier Bay Scarf
Approx. 220 yards worsted weight yarn (or heavy
worsted)
U.S. Size 10 straight or circular needles (or
10.5 if using heavy worsted)
Gauge is not important, though adjust needle
size if resulting fabric is firmer or looser than you prefer (I like it pretty
loose).
Abbreviations:
K - knit
K2tog - knit 2 together
YO - yarnover
Instructions:
Set
up:
- Cast on 21 stitches using any cast-on
technique you like (cast on 19 if using heavy worsted and larger needles).
- Knit 8 rows (hint
- there will be 4 garter ridges on each side)
Begin
slanted mesh section:
- Row 1 - *(K2tog, YO)* until 1 stitch
remains, YO, K last stitch
- Row 2 - K across
Repeat rows 1-2 for a total of ten times, ending
AFTER a row 2. (Hint - there will be 10 rows of
holes that can be easily counted.)
Horizontal
section:
Knit 7 rows
(until there are 4
ridges on each side).
That's
it! Repeat these two sections until your scarf is long enough or you run short
of yarn. Cast off at the end of a horizontal section.
If you are detail oriented, you can block the
scarf, pinning to enhance the zigzag. Or not.
Happy knitting!
