Free Knitting Pattern! Jefferson Scarf

 The Jefferson Scarf

©2013 Kris Basta  


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 #2 

 

Materials: 

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 st
K = 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:

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!

"The Jefferson River is a tributary of the Missouri River approximately 83 miles long.  From broad valleys to a narrow canyon, the Jefferson River passes through a region of significant geological diversity, with some of the oldest and youngest rocks in North America and a diversity of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary formations.  The Lewis and Clark expedition first ascended the river in 1805.  Much of its scenic beauty and wildlife diversity remains today."
