Dropped Yarn-Over Scarf



I am a daily reader of both craftzine.com and craftstylish.com, and a couple of months ago one of them linked to this site: http://mycraftastrophies.blogspot.com/2008/12/weekday-quickie.html. I was intrigued by this pretty, lacy-looking stitch, so I decided to give it a shot. I'm really happy with how quickly it knat and how lovely it turned out. "Craftastrophies" explains it about as well as it can be explained. Basically, here's what I did:


cast on desired amount of stitches.
Row 1: knit.
Row 2: k1,yo. Repeat to end.
Row 3: k1, drop yarn over stitch, k1, drop yarn over stitch, repeat to end.
Row 4: knit.
Row 5: k1, yo (wrapping yarn around two times this time). repeat to end.
Row 6: k1, drop two yarn over stitches, k1, drop two yarn over stitches, repeat to end.
Repeat rows 1-6 until scarf reaches desired length.
Its new owner is very pleased.
