Pattern Notes<\/h3>\n

This is a very straightforward and beginner friendly pattern that is very easy to follow, but still results in a lovely, highly versatile and wearable scarf. It will require blocking in order to achieve its desired size and drape, and to open the lace pattern up. You can find a great tutorial on blocking\u00a0here from Kirsten at Haak Maar Raak<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you are a beginner at reading charts, I have included the written instructions for you as well. I would recommend trying to follow the chart along with the written instructions, as chart reading is an invaluable skill for any knitter and this is a good way to learn. Read the notes on the chart sheet carefully and pay particular attention to which row you are on and what the symbol stands for on that row. For example, a dot will be a purl on a right side row, but a knit on the wrong side rows. This is an easy chart that will make for good practice.<\/p>\n

The stitch count never changes for this scarf. For every row you should have 71 stitches. If you have more, you have likely added a yarn over where you shouldn’t, or forgotten to knit two together. If you have fewer, you may have forgotten a yarn over at some point.<\/p>\n

For beginners who aren’t familiar with repeats, when you see something in ( these kinds of brackets ), that means that you repeat what is IN the brackets the amount of times it states AFTER the brackets. So for example, with row 10 when it states\u00a0\u00a0K12, (p11, k7) x 2, p11, k12<\/strong>, you will knit 12, then (purl 11 and knit 7) TWICE, then purl 11 and knit 12.<\/p>\n

When you see double brackets, some stitches are repeated multiple times within a larger repeat. Don’t panic, look below and I will explain.<\/p>\n

Row 11 says\u00a0K5, ((yo, k2tog) x 4, k10) x 3, (yo, k2tog) x 4, k4<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

That means you k5<\/strong>, then do the following three times:\u00a0yo, k2tog, yo, k2tog, yo, k2tog, yo, k2tog, k10 <\/strong>(so three repeats of 4x yo, k2tog and k10)\u00a0Then yo, k2tog<\/strong> four more times and finally k4<\/strong>. If you are still confused or get stuck at some point, try comparing to the chart. I’ve singled out row 11 below to show you.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you click the photo above you can see it larger. It shows the repeats within those brackets in a way that may be a bit clearer for the visual learners out there. Remember that this row is an odd numbered (right side) row and so should be read from right to left.<\/p>\n
