Ruffle Yarn Scarf On Knifty Knitter

The yarn in the photo is Broadway made by Knitting Fever.  It was made on the blue round Knifty Knitter.

Blue Knifty Knitter
1 Ball Broadway

We marked the pegs that were going to be used.  You will be using 8 pegs for the yarn, but skip every other peg so this will be spread over 16 pegs. 

When you open the yarn you will see it has a mesh like appearance.  using the NON-metallic edge you will put 1 hole over each of the 8 pegs being used.  You do not need to wrap.  After doing those 8 pegs you will turn and go over those 8 pegs so you have 2 strands on each peg.  Unlike the usual times you won't slip each edge stitch.  When you get to the end of the 8 pegs the second time take the hook and work the yarn as usual.  You do this for all the rows until you are near the end of the ball.  Then take a crochet hook and put the strand on the end peg on the hook and the next hole on the yarn on the hook and chain it off.  do this again with the yarn and then go to the peg.  Two times with the yarn and then the peg.  Repeat until you are done with the pegs.  Pull the yarn through the loop and weave in your ends. 

Winging It

I have a new scarf pattern that I love.  I made it up at the end of last week.  I couldn't find a pattern I liked for the yarns I was working with and decided to just "Wing It" hence the name of the pattern.

With Yarn "A" Chain 252 or desired even amount.

Row 1: DC in second ch from hook and in each ch to end, ch2 turn

Row 2: With Yarn "B" DC in first DC  from hook, chain 1, skip 1 DC, and DC in next DC. Repeat across,  DC in final DC.   ch2 turn

Row 3:  Skip first DC and DC in first chain-one space of previous row, chain 1, DC in next chain-one space and repeat across.  DC in space between turning chain and the first DC of the previous row.  Chain 2 and turn.

 Repeat Row 3 until desired width (I did 4 times).

Last row:  Go back to Yarn "A" DC in all DC and chain-one spaces.  Tie off at end and weave in ends

I Failed to take a photo before packing this scarf off to go to it's recipient, but hope to get a photo eventually.  If you make this I would love to see your creations.

2 Christmas presents down

2 Christmas presents down and it's only the 2nd of April.  Yay!  At this rate I have time to experiment and try and design a scarf.  Won't that be nice.  I got a book in the mail today and found a really cool stitch patter that I am about to try as a scarf.  If I like it, who knows, you may just find the pattern here.  It'll be worked with 2 balls of yarn with 1 color getting carried up the side while not in use. 

I'm making this scarf in alpaca and am going to have toms of fun.  It's going to be in red and black.  Someone I know is going to make a red had to go with it.  Ok, enough talking about it!  Have to go work on it now.
