THE PICK ME UP SCARF

If you have some pretty sock yarn that doesn't seem like it wants to be socks, but needs to be something like this here's what to do:

Cast on 33 stitches.

Row 1: K3, K2, *yo, sl 1, k2tog, psso, yo, k1; rep from * to last four stitches, K1, slip 3 stitches purlwise wyif.

Row 2: K3, purl to last three stitches, slip 3 stitches purlwise wyif.

Row 3: K3, K2tog, yo, k1, *yo, sl 1, k2tog, psso, yo, k1; rep from * to last 6 stitches, yo, sl 1, psso, k1, slip 3 stitches purlwise wyif

Row 4: K3, purl to last three stitches, slip 3 stitches purlwise wyif.

Rep these 4 rows until you run out of yarn. Bind off, wet block and enjoy.

That's it, easy peasy.

Let me know if you make one, or have troubles with the pattern!

STRIPED AL

A new scarf for hubby out of some very yummy yarn. It's sort of a mash-up of a couple of techniques and not at all a new/original pattern, It's basically this (rav) pattern, but without the self striping yarn and three yarns instead of two and a six row repeat to get this particular striping pattern. If you want to do one exactly like me here's the deal. Yarn: 1 ball each of three colors Elsebeth Lavold Classic Al, I used black(A), foggy(B), and ecru (C)

Needles: 2 US size 10, 6.0mm double-pointed

Cast-on 23 stitches with color A.
Slide stitches to opposite side of needle
K1 P1 Across with color B.

Work in pattern across with color C.

ETA: to make the edges neat, be consistent with twisting the yarns. I always bring the new yarn up the back.
