Free Knitting Pattern! Wiggle Lace Scarf

  I call this one the "Wiggle Lace" Scarf.  It is a simple 4 row pattern repeat

  

 Materials Needed:

1 skein of worsted weight yarn, approx. 200 yds.
Size 10 1/2 (6.5mm) circular Knitting needle.  You will use a circular not to knit in the round, but to work flat and accomodate the large number of stitches.  I used a 29" length.

Abbreviations:
K = Knit
P=Purl
CO = Cast on
YO = Yarn over
K2tog = Knit 2 together

Gauge: 

3.5 sts per 1 inch

References:

Cast on at beginning of the row, otherwise known as knitted cast-on.  Tutorial here:

Directions:

1. CO 8 sts using long-tail cast on method.
2. Knit

3.  (RS) *K2, P1, YO, K2tog, P1; rep from * to last 2 sts, K2.
4.  CO 6 sts at the beg. of the row, P2, *K1, P2; rep from *.
5.  CO 6 sts at the beg. of the row, *K2, P1, K2tog, YO, P1, rep from * to last 2 sts, K2.
6.  P2, *K1, P2; rep from *

7.  Repeat rows 3 - 6 until you have 188 sts.
8.  Bind off as K2, P1.

My finished and (lightly) blocked scarf measured 68" L x 10" W.

Pattern can be downloaded, see at the bottom of this post (after all the photos).

    Thanks for the free patterns! I am a knitting coach at a senior center and we are going to knit scarfs for charity.

    Pretty but don't you have to decrease after the increases?

    Betty,
    nope you do not decrease. If you did that you'd never get anywhere and your scarf would not grow in length. The directions are correct.

    I just found your incredible site and your beautiful patterns. I've downloaded them all--the only question is which will I start with? I live in Wyoming, so I had to find out more about such a talented "neighbor" in Montana, and I read your profile and laughed out loud because Shenandoah is my all-time favorite movie too!

    Thank you for your beautiful patterns. Add me to your list of devoted followers!

    Should row 5 be K2, P1, K2tog, YO, P1 or K2, P1, YO, K2tog, P1 like row 3?

    Dear Susan, no, the pattern is correct. If you change it and do row 5 like row 3 it will not come out correctly.

    I just found your site while searching for easy, yet 'fancy' scarf patterns for xmas gifts. I'm hooked on your patterns. I'm an intermediate level knitter and am excited just reading the patterns. Can't wait to knit one! It's difficult to find free patterns that fit my preferences. Thank you for sharing your patterns and creativity!

    Hi - I'm curious about the (RS) at the beginning of row 3. I don't see it in the list of abbreviations.

  17. kriskrafterFebruary 10, 2014 at 9:58 AM

    re: Jeannie Parrishe, RS is a standard knitting abbreviation for "right side". WS would be "wrong side". This just lets you know what side you should be starting with.

    I too love all your scarf patterns. What type of WW yarn is best for draping? 8've knitted 2 so far but they are not draping as I would like (for gifts)
    Thank you for your patterns.

    Dear Suzz, The yarn was:
    Cascade yarns, "Venezia" worsted. It is a merino/silk blend.

    Confused about how to actually end this pattern. After you reach the 188 stitches (instruction #7), do you bind off all stitches in the very next row?

  22. kriskrafterMarch 4, 2015 at 5:31 AM

    Terry Davis, Yes, it says to bind off so therefore you bind off as directed.

    I was wondering how I would be able to use Onion's Tussah Silk yarn (34% tussah silk 66% merino wool). The label says with a 4mm needle and 22 stitches and 30 rows you would get a square of 10 cm. I love the softness of this yarn and can well imagine how comfortable it would be to have around the neck - I would like to make several for Christmas gifts - mainly using your Wiggle Lace and Jefferson patterns.
    Thanks for your help

    Hi LInda,
    If you use that yarn you'd get a much smaller scarf as the gauge is quite different from what the pattern calls for. You'd need to just keep knitting (repeating the pattern) until you get the size you want.

    Thank you for all your free patterns. I really like these scarf patterns they are so pretty & will be warmer in the winter which can be cold here in Winnipeg Manitoba. I have made several in different yarns but the Red Heart varegated yarns are practical & really pretty in these patterns. Thanks again.

    A little late to the party here, I hope you see this.
    I am confused by the YO in: K2, P1, YO, K2tog, P1. After a P you would YO to do a K. Can you help me with that?
