This is Scarf #3 of the series of 3 scarves celebrating the beauty that is Montana. See Ravelry and other blog pages for the Gallatin and the Madison scarves too! All three scarves are quite simple, but quite beautiful, and work up very fast. There is a link, after all the photos, so you can download the pattern at the end of this posting.

Gauge:
17 sts per 4 inches in stitch pattern #2Materials:
One circular needle U.S. size 10.5 (6.5mm). You will use this circular not to knit in the round, but to work flat and accommodate the large number or stitches. I used a 29" length.1 Skein of worsted weight yarn, approx. 200 yds.
Abbreviations:
yo = yarn over KFB = Knit in front & back of stK = Knit K2tog = knit 2 together
P = Purl beg = beginning
BO = bind off
References:
Cast on at beginning of the row, otherwise known as the knitted cast-on. Tutorial video is here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdaZTBOJ7XU
Directions:
1. Using long tail cast-on, CO 4 sts.
2. K1, yo, k2tog, k1.
3. CO 4 sts at the beg of the row, K1, *yo, k2tog, rep from * to last st, end K1.
(This is stitch pattern #1.) 8 sts.
4. Repeat row 3 until there are 96 sts.
5-8 CO 4 sts at the beg of the row, Knit across. 112 sts.
9. CO 4 sts at the beg of the row, K28, KFB, K58, KFB, K28. 118 sts.
You will now start stitch pattern #2.
10. CO 4 sts at the beg of the row, K2, *P2, K2, rep from * to end.
11. CO 4 sts at the beg of the row, P2, *keeping yarn at front of work, sl 2 sts purlwise, P2; rep from * to end.
12. Repeat 10 & 11 until you have 198 sts.
13. CO 4 sts at the beg of the row, K across. 202 sts.
14. Repeat 13 for two more rows. 210 sts.
15. Knit across (do not cast on 4 sts at beg of the row).
16. Bind off loosely.
My scarf measured 62" L x 9" W unblocked. This scarf works up relatively quick and would make great gifts or craft show items. As with all my patterns feel free to make and sell as many as you like.
Enjoy!

Going to try the jefferson abd the gallatin. They both look gorgeous and the yarn is akready in my basket! Thank you for the patterns. AnneB
Thank you for the patterns - I have made the definitely diagonal scarf in various yarns. The cotton blends work wonderful. I am in the process of making the Old Flame in cotton and it is rolling but hopefully I can wet block it down. This type of scarf is currently the rage here in Chilliwack, British Columbia. So they will make wonderful Christmas gifts for daughters/granddaughters. Thank you again. Barb Boehmer
thanks so much for these patterns! I've made all three Montana scarves. Just finished the Jefferson and love it! for all three, I used Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable. A Worsted weight roving type of yarn. the colors in these yarns are lovely! The patterns are lovely. Each one came out beautiful! You are quite talented and I will keep looking for other creations by you. Thanks again!
I love all of your scarves...at the present time I made one of your Montana scarves and am working on two more. I'm using Treasure by red heart. They are beautiful. I will make all three of these Montana scarves..thank you so much for creating them and sharing. Your patterns are so easy to follow. Thanks again
I'm pretty much obsessed with your scarves! They are amazing and so fun! I've done a Wiggle-Lace Scarf for me and a Diagonal one for my sister. Now I'm going to work on the Old Flames one...again for myself. I just wanted to say thank you so much for posting these patterns! They have been so much fun and have really taught me all those fun increases and decreases in knitting.
Love your designs, having a hard time choosing which one to do first
Hello.. I am really loving this design, but I want to use two different colors. I preferably want to alternate rows with the two colors as these two skeins add up to the yardage necessary, do you think I would be able to achieve that? Once again thank you for sharing.
Dear Abdhi, Unfortunately 2 colors don't work for this design because of the casting on of 4 sts each row.
