FREE PATTERN - KNIT

SNOWDROP LACE SCARF

approx. 9.5" x 75"

This scarf is knit in two pieces.  I wanted the pattern to be the same on both sides in the front so I knit each side separately and then used the  3-needle bind off to finish it.  

Yarn used - Red Heart Super Saver - 1 skein medium purple

Knitting Needles - size 8 (plus a spare needle for the 3-needle bind off)

NOTE: I like my scarves nice and long!  If you would like a shorter scarf work less repeats on each side, making certain you work the same amount of repeats on each side.

NOTE: If you would like the scarf  less wide, cast on 8 less stitches; for a wider scarf 8 more stitches.

NOTE: Once pattern stitch is started the first 3 stitches and the last 3 stitches on each row form the border and are worked k1, p1, k1. 

NOTE: Slip stitches as if to purl.

Cast on 37 stitches.

Row 1: K2 tog, * p1, k1; repeat from * to last 3 stitches; p1, k2tog. 

Rows 2 - 4: K1, * p1, k1; repeat from * across row.

Begin working pattern as follows:

Row 5: Border (k1, p1, k1); k1, * yo, sl 1, k2tog, psso, yo, k5; rep from * to last 7 stitches, yo, sl 1, k2 tog, psso, yo, k1; work border (k1, p1, k1)

Rows 6, 8, 10, 12: Work border; p across to last 3 stitches; work border.

Row 7: Repeat row 5.

Row 9: Work border; k4, * yo, sl 1, k1, psso, k1, k2tog, yo, k3; repeat from * to last 4 stitches, k1, work border. 

Row 11: Work border; k1, * yo, sl 1, k2tog, psso, yo, k1; rep from * to last 3 sts; work border.

Rows 13 - 206: Repeat Rows 5 - 12 24 more times.  Place these stitches on the spare needle. Cut yarn.

Repeat Rows 1 - 206 for the other half of the scarf; do not finish off.  Holding the two sides of the scarf, right sides tog, bind off in purl using the 3-needle bind off.
