I did have use a lighter weight than called for (a DK Malabrigo held with Kidsilk Haze); I used size 9 needles. It felt small as I was nearing the 5th time through the pattern so I added a sixth set of 15 rows. I am really glad I did! The scarf is lush and soft and just the right length and width for a full wrap around the neck and over the shoulders. <br />Thank you Kris, for a pattern easy enough yet fancy and detailed enough for a beginning knitter to feel a real sense of accomplishment!<br />If I can figure out how, I will post on ravelry. shar<br />Sharneilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16144219889421559250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-712010182956915188.post-17038629255986982352022-05-06T07:28:05.945-05:002022-05-06T07:28:05.945-05:00Sharnell, PLease see other comments above as I...Sharnell, PLease see other comments above as I've answered the same question about circular needles several times. If you don't want to use circulars you can certainly use straights - I use them to accommodate the number of stitches used. No where in the pattern does it say to join in the round - this is knit flat. <br />As far as your diagonals going the same direction. <br /><br />After you have worked the set up rows, then work 4-15, your stitches will be angled one direction, which for the moment is your right side.<br /><br />When you the go on to work rows 1-15 as directed in step 16, every time you do this (work rows 1-15) you are changing direction and thus you have a new "right side".<br />Hope that makes sense. <br /><br />Kriskriskrafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15909843489998811502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-712010182956915188.post-3601008196820699352022-05-05T19:33:06.775-05:002022-05-05T19:33:06.775-05:00Hi Kris,

S...Hi Kris,<br />My diagonals are going the same way....<br />So my question is: <br />You specify doing this on circular needles. <br />but you don't say whether you are knitting in the round, or reversing direction. <br />Maybe my problem is that I am turning the work and reversing direction.<br />Please advise!<br />I hope you (or someone can clue me in quickly before I have dozens of rows to redo!)<br />Thank you!<br />Sharmon <br />sharmon.f@gmail.comSharneilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16144219889421559250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-712010182956915188.post-8623987282217331362021-10-10T11:32:21.909-05:002021-10-10T11:32:21.909-05:00I’m excited about this pattern

The color<br /> Is Harmony (which looks like denim) The cake is 5.3 oz / 150 g, 344 yds / 315m. I’m kind of a tight knitter so had 1.4 oz remaining. I cant wait for colder weather so I can wear this! <br /><br />PS. I wanted to post a picture but couldn’t figure out how using my iPad.

This is still 7 sts. <br /><br />Are you sure you're looking at the setup rows and not jumped ahead to the pattern rows? <br />You work the setup rows first, then it instrucs to go to row 4 of the pattern rows. kriskrafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15909843489998811502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-712010182956915188.post-19664939783645380032015-09-11T23:35:14.193-05:002015-09-11T23:35:14.193-05:00I haven't seen anyone else ask this question, ...I haven't seen anyone else ask this question, so I guess I must be 'thick'!

In this particular row (row 2) I didn't need the astrix because this will complete the 7 stitches that you need. But you will see in upcoming rows that the astrix is used - again this means to repeat whatever comes after or between astrix until otherwise directed.kriskrafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15909843489998811502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-712010182956915188.post-49814977936652827552015-07-18T19:28:14.264-05:002015-07-18T19:28:14.264-05:00I'm a beginner knitter .
