Litany of Secret Creations, Part 3

This is the last of my Christmas gift scarf pictures. This was the one that was the simplest and went together the most quickly. However, it is probably the one I am most proud of because it combined two things:


  • I learned how drop stitches work
  • I "designed" the scarf all by myself

I wanted Mom to have a Carribean cruise scarf, but I didn't have enough time for an EROS style scarf, so I used some Stacy Charles Rondo, color 610. This is what the scarf looked like:

And here is a close up detail of the "stitch pattern" that I used:

The "pattern" is very simple. It can be almost any width that you want it to be, for size 15 needles, somewhere between 12-15 stitches cast on would be good. Then:


  • Knit 4 rows
  • (K1 YO2 ) for as many stitches as you have
  • Knit 6th row, dropping YOs as you go
  • Continue until scarf is desired length, end with 4 knit rows

Mom liked it, and it did come out light and airy!
