Does anyone remember the kerchief style scarves from like 50 years ago? Gulp. It just came back to me in a flash. We all wore little cotton triangles either as hats or around our necks. This little knit reminds me of those. And of course the Baktus scarf, my latest favorite knit.
But this time I've made it smaller and started in the middle with a mitered diamond and knit outwards from either side of it. I used a crochet cast on again, because it is just so much easier to get proper tension and because later I am going to want live stitches to knit from where I began.
Crochet a long chain of stitches and with the knitting needle pick up a stitch in the 'spine' of each chain. Later these can be unzipped and will provide live stitches.
The orange yarn is the crochet part that I will undo and then put the exposed stitches on my needle to continue to knit.
Pattern: The mitered diamond in this case was 87 stitches, size 3 needles and lots of different colored sock weight yarns. I used a center decrease of k2tog, k1, k2tog, arranging my stitches before decreasing so that they face the correct way to achieve this look. Knit in garter stitch, and when the sides are knit, decrease at the top edge, one stitch away from the edge, every fourth row.
The mitered square alone is 8". If a larger, longer scarf is desired, increase the amount of stitches for the mitered square, by an uneven number.
I'd much rather decrease than increase, which is why I decided to construct this scarf in this manner. One could just as easily start at one end of the scarf, increase until time to make the big mitered square center, and then pick up stitches from the other side of the square and decrease to the end. Whichever way makes you happiest, I always say.
PS: Wendy over at Knit and Tonic has a great tutorial on Long Tail Provisional Cast-on. See it here.
The colors are so beautiful as is your work. You're making me want to knit. I don't really know how to do much more than knit and purl and make an Icord and I don't know how to read a pattern but I have a ton of yarn. I'm going to run get some right now and start a scarf!!!
ReplyDeleteI love this little neckerchiefl The Baktus scarf is taking me ages. MInd you I've got 6 other projects going at the same time....I'm having a good time and it looks like you are too!
ReplyDeleteThis is darling. I'm putting it at the top of my list.
ReplyDeleteYou're an amazingly creative lady. I don't knit, but I've enjoyed watching your experiments and your acumen at work! :-)
ReplyDeleteYour kerchief is wonderful. I love your bold colors.
ReplyDeleteYou make the most wonderful color choices. Is the yarn used in this scarf a variegated yarn or did you do all the changes yourself (whew) It is wonderful and fun and if I could I would live in a world of these colors!

ReplyDeleteThis is really a great pattern and after staring at it for a long time (I haven't been knitting for long) I think I have it figured out. However, I do have a question: you write that the centre decrease is k2tog, k1, k2tog, but to me it looks like you k3 in the middle. And that the 3 middle stitches are not in garter stitch, but done in stockinette.
ReplyDeleteOr am I hallucinating? Those are some brightly coloured yarns you used...it's possible!
Caitlin,
ReplyDeleteI did this:
k2tog, k1, k2tog, arranging my stitches before decreasing so that they face the correct way to achieve this look. (arranging is the key word.)
On the reverse, I purled those stitches so that they remained in stockinette on the right side.
Ah HA! I thought...ok, so on the mitered square, you do the decrease every other row? I think that's all I need to know.

ReplyDeleteCan you modify this pattern so it slips over the head, front and back looking the same? It looks as if it would be great under v-necks.
DeleteI think that everything wrote made a ton of sense. But, think on this, what if you added a little content?
ReplyDeleteI mean, I don't want to tell you how to run your website, but what if you
added something that grabbed folk's attention? I mean Untitled is kinda boring.
You ought to look at Yahoo's front page and watch how they create post headlines
to get viewers to open the links. You might add a related video
or a related picture or two to get readers excited about everything've got to say.
Just my opinion, it might bring your posts a little livelier.

As a sign of gratitude for how my husband was saved from Lymes, I decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
ReplyDeleteMy husband suffered from Lymes and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because he was my all and the symptoms were terrible, we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure him. I searched for a cure and I saw testimony of so many people who were cured from Lymes , and so many others with similar body problems, and they left the contact of this doctor who had the herbal cure to Lymes. I never imagined Lymes had a cure not until I contacted him and he assured me my husband will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my husband used it and in one months he was fully okay even up till this moment he is so full of life.Lymes has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com Dr Itua can cure Herpes,Hiv,Cancer,ALS,Copd,HPV,Lupus,MS,Diabetes, and other disease talk to Dr Itua on how to get the medication. Thanks for reading my testimony . https://drituaherbalcenter.com/shop/
