This is the scarf patten in the book that came with my ISM. If anyone makes one with stripes, please let me know if you have any trouble. I'm still not sure it was the stripes that caused mine to unravel. I do love this scarf pattern! :) (most of the time)Vicki/Tori SCARF SIZES: Child, age 3-6 (child, age 7-10; adult's size) MATERIALS: Worsted weight yarn, in your choice of solid color, variegated, or tweed: one, 3-0z skein for all sizes. ne skein will make one scarf with tassels. 1. Bring forward 51 (57,63) needles to holding position. (HP) 2. Hang the hem. 3. Push needles back to forward working position. 4. Thread carriage with the yarn, leaving an 18" length. 5. Using #3 KP in the carriage, knit 100 (110,120) rows. 6. Cut yarn, leavving an 18" length. 7. Starting the second stitch from the edge, release every other stitch by pushing the needle forward to HP by holding the butt of the needle with your fingers (holding back the knitted fabric with your other hand at the same time), then pulling the needle back to NWP which closes the latch and drops the stitch. 8. After you've released these stitches, pull down on the hem so the stitches run down. You may need to coax the stitches at the side edges. When the hem hits the floor, you'll have to help the stitches run down using your fingers. 9. Thread the tapestry needle with the length of yarn at the cast-on edge and weave the needle through the stitches remaining attached to the hem, to stop them running when you remove the hem. 10. Remove the hem carefully, by snipping the elastic with scissors. 11. Thread the tapestry needly with the length of yarn at the end of your work and weave through the stitches on the needles. 12. Remove the knitting from the needles. 13. Cut a separate length of yarn (about 1 1/2 times the length of the scarf) and sew the side seam so the scarf will be like a tube, with the knit (not purl) side on the outside. Use Blind Stitch. Do not pull the stitches too tightly or the scarf will appear gathered at the seamed edge. 14. Gather the stitches at each end and tie the yarn. 15. Weave the loose end of yarn into the center of the scarf. 16. Make two tassels for ends if you wish to. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 29 Aug 1997 17:07:27 -0500 From: Julie Foreman (jforeman@pnx.com) Subject: [BOND] Scarf pattern - slight variation I just wanted to post a slight difference I did with the scarf pattern = from the ISM book. I prefer a strait look as opposed to their gathered = one. SO! Instead of gathering the ends, I folded the scarf so that the = seam is in the center back. I then lined up the loose loops and fringed = through them, one from the front and one from the back. Since there was = an odd number of loops, I put the 2 on either side of the center back = with the center front loop. I did it with WoolEase Autumn print yarn = with Chestnut for the fringe. It turned out almost perfectly striped! I = prefer a longer scarf so I knit to RC 150. I must say it's beautiful! I = intend to make a page with pictures of the things I've made recently, I = just need to get the pictures developed.=20 Julie Foreman Not The Pink Mommy Extrairdinaire/Domestic Goddess jforeman@pnx.com www.pnx.com/julie
