Ribbed Scarf


Hi all

Here is the ribbed scarf that I am making. You need about 4.5mm needles, and it takes about 2 50gm balls of yarn. Laura and Kat have finished scarves in this pattern!

Number of stitches: you need a multiple of 4 stitches plus one stitch, so: 25, 29, 33, 37 etc.
Cast on 25 stitches (or more, above).
Row 1: K2, P2, repeat to end, end with K1.
Repeat Row 1 until scarf is long enough.
Cast off all stitches.

Hi everyone,
As promised, here's the pattern for the scarf I showed today: http://www.angelyarns.com/free-patterns/noro-scarf.php.
I used whatever size needle recommended on the yarn label - I think it's 5mm. I'm very sorry - I cannot remember how many rows I did to get the width of the scarf that I made. If anyone's interested I'd be happy to do a demo at next week's session.
Here also is the link to the Cascade yarn site, with all the colours available in the 220, 100% wool recommended for the seaming/crochet border of our quilt: http://www.cascadeyarns.com/cascade-220.asp
Let's start thinking about border colours!
Cheers,
Shawnna
