Eyelet Bias Scarf
This narrow scarf/shawl is worked up on the bias, with evenly spaced eyelet rows. The scarf increases as you knit, and there is no decrease section.
I used two balls of KnitPicks Palette in Mineral Heather with size 8 circular needles. It is knit flat, but there are a lot of stitches towards the end.
CO 3, long tail.
Row 1: k2, kfb
Row 2: kfb, k to last 2 sts, k2tog
Row 3: k to last st, kfb
Row 4: Rep row 2
Row 5: Rep row 3
Row 6: kfb, *yo, k2tog; rep from * to end to last 3 sts, k1, k2tog
Row 7: Rep row 3
Row 8: kfb, *yo, k2tog; rep from * to end to last 2 sts, k2tog
Row 9: Rep row 3
Rep rows 2-9 for the pattern repeat.
After a row 2, BO using JSSBO, or another stretchy bind off. Block this to open up the eyelets and garter stitch.
The shawl is 48" along the bind off edge, 16" at the tip, the widest point, 68" across the next edge, and 110" along the longest edge, and is an asymmetric triangle, meaning the sides are not equal in length.
I really like the depth of this yarn color. It is mostly a medium grey-purple, but has streaks of navy, red, and a pale lilac color. The mottled color brings sophistication to the simple pattern.

I hope you make one of these, and enjoy the pattern.

Hi, this is so pretty! Does it stay flat? Would I need to block it?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the pattern!
I blocked mine since it’s wool, but I think it depends on the type of yarn you use. I’ve been steam blocking some of my acrylic yarns lately too, if you decide to use an acrylic.
