The shawl is knit with an increase section and a decrease section, and the points on the border are knit as the body of the shawl is knit.<br />

I used two balls of KnitPicks Palette in Clematis Heather with size 8 needles.<br />
<br />
CO 6. Place marker between 5th and 6th sts.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Increase</u></b><br />
<br />
Row 1: kfb, k to marker, sm, k to end<br />
<br />
Row 2: k to marker, sm, k to last st, kfb<br />
<br />
Row 3: kfb, k to marker, sm, k to end<br />
<br />
Row 4: k to last st before marker, kfb, sm, k to last st, kfb<br />
<br />
Row 5: kfb, k to marker, sm, k to end<br />
<br />
Row 6: k to marker, sm, k to last st, kfb<br />
<br />
Row 7: BO to last st before marker, sm, k to end<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Row 8: k to last st before marker, kfb, sm, kfb</div>
<br />
When you are less than halfway through your yarn, switch to the decrease section after a row 8. You can weigh your yarn to know when to start decreasing, but since I used two skeins of yarn, I just knit until I just about ran out of the first skein, and then I began decreasing.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Decrease</b></u><br />
<u><b><br /></b></u>
Row 1: kfb, k to marker, sm, k to end<br />
<br />
Row 2: k to marker, sm, k to last st, kfb<br />
<br />
Row 3: kfb, k to marker, sm, k to end<br />
<br />
Row 4: k to last 2 sts before marker, k2tog, sm, k to last st, kfb<br />
<br />
Row 5: kfb, k to marker, sm, k to end<br />
<br />
Row 6: k to marker, sm, k to last st, kfb<br />
<br />
Row 7: BO to last st before marker, sm, k to end<br />
<br />
Row 8: k to last 2 sts before marker, k2tog, sm, k to last st, kfb<br />
<br />
When you have decreased enough times to get back to the original 6 sts, BO after a row 7.<br />
<br />
<br />
On the first row 1, keep in mind you won't have to 'k to marker', but for every other row 1, there will be a stitch before the marker. On the first row 7, you will have to bind off 6 stitches, but then bind off 7 stitches every repeat after.<br />
<br />
Block this scarf to make the points nice and sharp.<br />

These neutral colors are perfect for a variety of outfits, and you will be sure to love the soft cowl this pattern makes!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhNGuRU2gkHhfwO3mZno0GSwOJc9R_xzyTxcT7AqxZ1zFYxLDmCp8UVkUcX4ol-Ix_a8OL-nnQ1Rc6E2ImNSjsEXaw4wb4rbbIM3SdOJJGZtYb7GADeyAplblDKgtbjBy9GsjzjS2xINA/s1600/DSC_4437.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1068" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhNGuRU2gkHhfwO3mZno0GSwOJc9R_xzyTxcT7AqxZ1zFYxLDmCp8UVkUcX4ol-Ix_a8OL-nnQ1Rc6E2ImNSjsEXaw4wb4rbbIM3SdOJJGZtYb7GADeyAplblDKgtbjBy9GsjzjS2xINA/s640/DSC_4437.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I used two skeins of Caron X Pantone in Tree Rings with a J hook. I rolled each mini skein into a ball, joining the same colors from each skein to each other. I joined the separate colors while crocheting so that I would end up at the beginning of a new row.<br />
<br />
Ch 64, join in 1st ch with sl st. Be careful not to twist chain.<br />
<br />
Row 1: ch 3, *sk 1 ch, (dc, ch 2, dc); rep from * around to last ch, sk 1 ch, join with sl st to 3rd ch of beg ch 3<br />
<br />
Row 2: ch 3, (dc, ch 2, dc) in each ch 2 sp around, join with sl st to 3rd ch of beg ch 3<br />
<br />
Repeat row two two more times, then switch to your next color. Do four rounds of each additional color. Each band of color is four rounds of v stitches. After you have completed all your colors, fasten off and weave in any remaining ends.<br />
<br />

This soft grey cowl is perfect to tuck under a coat, with such a neutral color and pretty texture. It is knit flat and then seamed, and is a pretty quick project.<br />
<br />

<br />
I used four skeins of Knit Picks Andean Treasure in Fog Heather with size 7 needles.<br />
<br />
CO 151<br />
<br />
Row 1: k1, *k1, p1: rep from * to end to last 2 sts, k2<br />
<br />
Row 2: k1, *p1, k1; rep from * to end to last 2 sts, p1, k1<br />
<br />
Row 3: k across<br />
<br />
Row 4: k across<br />
<br />
Repeat rows 1-4 for the pattern. When you have reached the desired length of the cowl, BO loosely, or use JSSBO.<br />
<br />
I lightly blocked this. Not to stretch it, but just to finish it off.<br />
<br />
After blocking, if you are doing so, seam the ends together and weave in ends.<br />

Knit with CaronXPantone, the color combination was pre-made for this cowl, but you could choose any colors and yarn you want!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAJ700s_SjSSInoJzPCCUDzJRQVBs4ENZXzkFAd31bfPmd1dqku7Y8pRxRwwAzgTAcoOMapIKkjxO4JAxrMXdZ7ZkaA1blGWlHqLU9Vsg5kmSVYZTpAh35AIaFiVtUVpm0MgxIc5fbj8c/s1600/DSC_2386.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1068" data-original-width="1600" height="427" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAJ700s_SjSSInoJzPCCUDzJRQVBs4ENZXzkFAd31bfPmd1dqku7Y8pRxRwwAzgTAcoOMapIKkjxO4JAxrMXdZ7ZkaA1blGWlHqLU9Vsg5kmSVYZTpAh35AIaFiVtUVpm0MgxIc5fbj8c/s640/DSC_2386.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I used two skeins of CaronXPantone in River Rock with size 9 circular needles.<br />
<br />
CO 90, join without twisting.<br />
<br />
Row 1: (k1, p1) around<br />
Row 2: (p1, k1) around<br />
<br />
Repeat these two rows.<br />
<br />
Cast off loosely when you have nearly run out of yarn. Weave in any remaining ends.<br />
<br />
For my color changes, I separated each skein into their five mini skeins. I started with one color, the lightest in my case, and wound the yarn into a ball, using the Russian join. I added each color with the Russian join until I had wound all five colors into a ball. When knitting, I didn't worry about where the color changes hit in the row, since you can't really tell with the texture of seed stitch anyway. Somehow, all my color changes occurred right near the start of my round anyway, but it's no big deal if it doesn't work out that way.<br />

I noticed this yarn the last few times I've been to Michaels, but didn't buy any until my most recent trip because I wasn't quite sure what to do with it and if I was really a fan of color blocked looks, but I love the neutrals of this color combination.<br />
<br />
My finished cowl is 13" tall and 29" around.<br />

This shawl increases every row and decreases every fourth row, making it increase faster than the typical asymmetrical shawl. Due to the increases and decreases, this shawl knits up on the bias.<br />

<br />
I used about one and a half skeins of KnitPicks Hawthorne Tonal Handpaint Fingering in Eugene with size 6 needles.<br />
<br />
CO 3, long tail.<br />
<br />
Row 1: k to last st, kfb<br />
<br />
Row 2: kfb, k to end<br />
<br />
Row 3: k to last st, kfb<br />
<br />
Row 4: kfb, k to last 2 sts, k2tog<br />
<br />
Row 5: k to last st, kfb<br />
<br />
Row 6: kfb, (yo, k2tog) rep to end<br />
<br />
Row 7: k to last st, kfb<br />
<br />
Row 8: kfb, (yo, k2tog) rep to last 2 sts, k2tog<br />
<br />
Repeat rows 1-8 for the pattern. After a row 3, bind off. I used a picot bind off, but you could just do a regular bind off if you would like. I used <a href="https://blog.loveknitting.com/the-picot-bind-off/" target="_blank">this tutorial</a> for my bind off, as I had never attempted a picot BO before. Essentially, you cast on two stitches and the bind off four. This bind off takes a lot of yarn, so make sure you have enough!<br />
<br />
I blocked this, and pinned each little picot to make them nice and sharp.<br />
<br />

My finished shawl is 20" at the deepest point, 45" across the shortest edge, and 70" along the picot bind off. I love the colors in this yarn, and how the eyelets and garter emphasize the subtle color changes of red-violet, deep purple, and maroon.<br />

<br />
I used three balls of Loops & Threads Joy DK in Cloud with size 7 needles.<br />
<br />
CO 64, long tail. To change the width, just add or subtract a multiple of 2. The garter edge is 6 stitches, so keep that in mind as well.<br />
<br />
Knit 6 rows<br />
<br />
Row 1: k across<br />
<br />
Row 2: k 3, p to last 3 sts, k 3<br />
<br />
Row 3: k across<br />
<br />
Row 4: k 3, p to last 3 sts, k 3<br />
<br />

<br />
Row 6: k 3, p to last 3 sts, k 3<br />
<br />
Row 7: k 3, p to last 3 sts, k 3<br />
<br />
Row 8: k 3, p to last 3 sts, k 3<br />
<br />
Row 9: k 3, (yo, k2tog) rep to last 3 sts, k 3<br />
<br />
Row 10: k 3, p to last 3 sts, k 3<br />
<br />
Row 11: k 3, p to last 3 sts, k 3<br />
<br />
Row 12: k 3, p to last 3 sts, k 3<br />
<br />
Row 13: k across<br />
<br />
Row 14: k 3, p to last 3 sts, k 3<br />
<br />
Row 15: k across<br />
<br />
Row 16: k 3, p to last 3 sts, k 3<br />
<br />
Row 17: k across<br />
<br />
Row 18: k across<br />
<br />
Row 19: k across<br />
<br />
Row 20: k across<br />
<br />
<br />
Repeat rows 1-20 for the pattern. After a row 17, k 6 rows, then BO using JSSBO or something else with a bit of stretch. Weave in any remaining tails.<br />
<br />
If desired, you can block this. If you use a natural fiber, you could wet block, or use your preferred method. The yarn I used is acrylic, and for the longest time I thought acrylic couldn't really be blocked, although I have had success with some yarns that are mixes of acrylic and a natural fiber.<br />
<br />
However, I really wanted to block this to make the edges sit flat, so I did a bit of research. I discovered I could steam block acrylic, so I bought a clothing steamer and practiced on a little swatch first, then went on to do the whole scarf. I also read a tutorial that involved laying a damp towel on top of the project, then pressing an iron to it, but I wanted to keep the garter ridges and not flatten them out, so I decided the steam method would probably work the best. I also had to learn what "killing acrylic" meant! Blocking is definitely up to you, but I thought I would share this new technique I learned about while making this scarf.<br />

It is slightly curved, due to the placement of the increases and decreases. Evenly spaced eyelet rows and garter sections keep the pattern simple to emphasize the speckled yarn.<br />

<br />
I used one skein of Knit Picks Hawthorne Fingering in Cosmic Speckle with size 8 needles.<br />
<br />
CO 3, long tail.<br />
<br />
Row 1: k 1 st, kfb, kfb<br />
<br />
Row 2: kfb, k to last 2 sts, k2tog<br />
<br />
Row 3: k to last 2 sts, kfb, kfb<br />
<br />
Repeat rows 2 and 3 four times.<br />
<br />
Row 4: kfb, (yo, k2tog) to last 2 sts, k2tog<br />
<br />
Row 5: k to last 2 sts, kfb, kfb<br />
<br />
Repeat rows 2 and 3 four times, then rows 4 and 5 once. Continue in this manner to create the evenly spaced garter and eyelets. Repeat until the shawl is the desired size, or until you are nearly out of yarn. BO using JSSBO or something stretchy after a row 5. Weave in tails. I was playing yarn chicken with this one, so make sure you have enough yarn to bind off, since there end up being a lot of stitches by the end.<br />
<br />
Block this shawl if desired, to give it drape and to open the eyelets. The shawl naturally curves a bit, and I blocked it into the curved shape to emphasize it a bit more.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ7Bo60ycOdvHqv_6ma6mNXP12biMTbQ8HDYut8dnoCfIqJanKeGTTTwQthCXyLga2jS3FHKEKHasTlQOqagAb4-6rLQaELsqPMXyFl10bPeGVl8rxEZODIIxizteNxZxuVTDENIAfK8g/s1600/DSC_8073.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1068" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ7Bo60ycOdvHqv_6ma6mNXP12biMTbQ8HDYut8dnoCfIqJanKeGTTTwQthCXyLga2jS3FHKEKHasTlQOqagAb4-6rLQaELsqPMXyFl10bPeGVl8rxEZODIIxizteNxZxuVTDENIAfK8g/s640/DSC_8073.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
This shawl is 16" from the bottom starting point to the top, and about 60" along the bind off edge. I love the speckled yarn, with the vibrant fuchsia, blue, and black against the pale blue-gray background.<br />
<br />
I wanted to make this shawl increase at a faster rate than my other asymmetrical triangle scarves, so I increased two stitches for every two rows instead of just one stitch every two rows. This resulted in this curved shape, and after knitting I discovered that this is sometimes called a boomerang shawl. I like the curved triangle, since it's different than the usual asymmetrical triangle. It also creates a bit of a spiral on the ends of the shawl.<br />

<br />
I used 2 skeins of Knit Picks Alpaca Cloud in Charlotte with size 6 needles.<br />
<br />
CO 36, long tail. To change the width, use any multiple of 2.<br />
<br />
Knit 1 row<br />
<br />
Row 1: k1, *yo, p2tog; rep from * to end to last st, k1.<br />
<br />
Repeat row 1 until scarf is the desired length.<br />
<br />
Knit 1 row, and then BO using JSSBO or another stretchy BO.<br />
<br />
Block, and weave in tails. I found this grew a bit while blocking, and I do recommend blocking to open up the lace.<br />

<span style="color: red;"><br /></span>
My finished scarf is 90"x10". This stitch is so simple, but looks so pretty with the alpaca yarn. I would recommend using an alpaca or mohair yarn, or something else with a bit of a fuzzy halo since it has such a nice effect, and makes the scarf so fluffy.<br />

The pretty silvery gray matches with so much, you'll want one of these in your wardrobe!<br />

<br />
I used two skeins of Knit Picks Gloss Fingering in Sterling with size 8 needles.<br />
<br />
CO 50, long tail. You can use any multiple of two if you want it wider or narrower.<br />
<br />
Row 1: kfb, k to end<br />
<br />
Row 2: k2tog, k to end<br />
<br />
Rep rows 1 and 2 thirteen times.<br />
<br />
Row 3: kfb, *yo, k2tog; rep from * to end to last st, k1<br />
<br />
Row 4: k2tog, k to end<br />
<br />
Rep rows 3 and 4 eleven times<br />
<br />
Repeat garter and lace sections until desired length, ending with a garter section. I chose the thirteen and eleven repeats because I wanted each section to be about three inches, so you can do as many repeats as you need for 3", or you can choose to do larger or smaller sections of the garter and eyelets.<br />
<br />
BO after the 13th row 2 of garter section, using JSSBO or another stretchy bind off. Weave in all ends.<br />
<br />
I blocked this to open up the lace.<br />
<br />

This scarf is 8"x100", and due to the increases and decreases, it is worked up diagonally, adding interest to the simple stitch pattern.<br />

It is a bit wider than an average scarf, but is perfect for spring and summer nights since it's open and airy, but just a little something to keep warm with.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I used about 1 1/3 skeins of Knit Picks Hawthorne Fingering Tonal Hand Painted in Astoria with size 8 needles.<br />
<br />
CO 64, long tail. To change the width, simply CO any multiple of 4.<br />
<br />
K one row.<br />
<br />
Row 1: k2, *k2tog, 2 yo, ssk; rep from * to end to last 2 sts, k2<br />
<br />
Row 2: k2, *p2, k1, p1; rep from * to end to last 2 sts, k2<br />
<br />
Row 3: k2, *yo, ssk, k2tog, yo; rep from * to end to last 2 sts, k2<br />
<br />
Row 4: k2, *k1 , p3; rep from * to end to last 2 sts, k2<br />
<br />
Repeat rows 1-4 until the scarf is the desired length. I blocked mine and found this stitch pattern opened up quite a bit, so keep that in mind when deciding when to BO.<br />
<br />
After a row 4, knit 1 row, and then BO using JSSBO or any other stretchy BO. Block if desired, and weave in tails.<br />
<br />

My finished wrap is 72"x16". This yarn has subtle color changes, from a darker gray to a medium silvery grey, and looks very pretty with this lacy stitch.<br />

<br />
I used two skeins of KnitPicks Palette in Pennyroyal with size 8 needles.<br />
<br />
CO 40, long tail. If you would like to change the width, you can change how many stitches you cast on for the garter section. My garter section is 18 stitches, so you could do 12 or 22 or any other number if you desired.<br />
<br />
Row 1: k across<br />
<br />
Row 2: k 18, [yo, k2tog] 10 times, yo, k2<br />

<br />
Row 11: k across<br />
<br />
Row 12: k across<br />
<br />
Row 13: BO 5 sts, k across<br />
<br />
Rep rows 2 to 13 for the pattern repeat. BO in JSSBO or another stretchy bind off after a row 11.<br />
<br />
Weave in any remaining ends. I blocked this, to open up the eyelets and define the points made by the increases and bind off rows.<br />
<br />

After a row 2, BO using JSSBO, or another stretchy bind off. Block this to open up the eyelets and garter stitch.<br />

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,<span style="color: red;"> </span>and is an asymmetric triangle, meaning the sides are not equal in length.<br />
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.<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I used two balls of KnitPicks Andean Treasure in Sapphire Heather with size 10 needles. I would call this yarn a worsted weight, and it is a baby alpaca yarn, so it's super soft.<br />
<br />
CO 40, long tail<br />
<br />
Knit one row<br />
<br />
Row 1: k across<br />
<br />
Row 2: k2, *yo, p4tog; rep from * to end to last two sts, k2<br />
<br />
Row 3: k2, *k1, (k1, p1, k1) in yo from previous row; rep from * to end to last 2 sts, k2<br />
<br />
Rep rows 1-3 until the scarf is as long as you want. I blocked mine, and this lace pattern opens dramatically, so keep that in mind when knitting, and deciding when to bind off.<br />
<br />
After a row 1, knit one more row, then BO using JSSBO or another stretchy BO.<br />
<br />
Block this, and weave in any remaining ends.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I love how soft this baby alpaca yarn is, and love the bright blue, slightly turquoise color. This was my first time using this yarn, and I found it very enjoyable and easy to work with.<br />
<br />
My finished scarf is 9"x60". Since the lace pattern is three rows, the pattern is completely reversible, so looks the same on both sides.<br />
<br />

The shawl is knit top down, and increases every row.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I used two skeins of KnitPicks Gloss Fingering in Blackberry. I used size 7 circular needles, to accommodate the large number of stitches towards the end.<br />
<br />
CO 8, long tail.<br />
<br />
Row 1: k2, (k, yo, k) into next st, k2, (k, yo, k) into next st, k2<br />
<br />
Row 2: k2, yo, k to last 2 sts, yo, k2<br />
<br />
Row 3: k2, (k, yo, k) into next st, k to last 3 sts, (k, yo, k) into next st, k2<br />
<br />
Row 4: Rep row 2<br />
<br />
Row 5: Rep row 3<br />
<br />
Row 6: Rep row 2<br />
<br />
Row 7: k2, (k, yo, k) into next st, *yo, k2tog; rep from * to end to last 3 sts, (k, yo, k) into next st, k2<br />
<br />
Row 8: Rep row 2<br />
<br />
Row 9: Rep row 3<br />
<br />
Repeat rows 2-9 for the pattern repeat. Essentially, it is 3 repeats of rows 2 and 3, and then an eyelet repeat of rows 7 and 8.<br />
<br />
For my edging, I did three eyelet repeats, so rows 7 and 8 three times. After a row 8, I bound off using JSSBO.<br />
<br />
I blocked this, pinning it into the crescent shape. Blocking helped define the shape and open up the eyelets and garter.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
My finished crescent shawl is 16" from the starting point at the center to the bottom edge, and about 60" along the inner edge, though it is curved because of the crescent shape. I like this crescent shape because it wraps nicely and seems to stay put more easily than a triangle shawl.<br />
<br />

<br />
I used one skein of KnitPicks Hawthorne Fingering Kettle Dye in the color Goddess. I used size 5 circular needles, to accomodate the large number of stitches towards the end.<br />
<br />
CO 3, longtail<br />
<br />
Row 1: k across<br />
<br />
Row 2: k1, (yo, k1) twice<br />
<br />
Row 3: k1, yo, k3, yo, k1<br />
<br />
Row 4: (k1, yo, k2, yo), pm, rep (to) once more, k1<br />
<br />
Row 5: k1, yo, k to marker, sm, k to last st, yo, k1<br />
<br />
Row 6: k1, yo, k to marker, yo, sm, k1, yo, k to last st, yo, k1<br />
<br />
Row 7: k1, yo, k1, (k2tog, yo) rep (to) last st before marker, k1, sm, (yo, k2tog) rep (to) to last 2 sts, k1, yo, k1<br />
<br />
Row 8: rep row 6<br />
<br />
Rep rows 5 and 6 three times<br />
<br />
Rep rows 7 and 8<br />
<br />
Continue in this manner, with three pattern repeats of rows 5 and 6, and then a repeat of rows 7 and 8. This makes the eyelet stripes between sections of garter stitch.<br />
<br />
Before binding off, do three repeats of rows 7 and 8, to make a lacy border. Knit one more row, and then bind off using JSSBO.<br />
<br />
Weave in any tails, and block if you wish. I wet blocked this, and pinned it out to help open up the lace. Blocking it gave it a nice drape, and opened the stitches.<br />

I used almost two skeins of Lion Brand Scarfie in Cream/Taupe with size 11 needles. There were a couple breaks and knots in the yarn, so I had to pull out yarn until I got to the right color again, but I was able to make the most of the skeins without wasting much.<br />
<br />
CO 31, longtail method. If you would like to change the width, just add or subtract a multiple of two.<br />
<br />
Row 1: k1, p1 across, ending with k1<br />
<br />
Row 2: k1, *k1b (knit 1 below), p1; repeat from * across to last 2 sts, k1b, k1<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Row 3: k1, *p1, k1b; repeat from * across to last 2 sts, p1, k1</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Repeat rows 2 and 3 until you have reached the desired length. BO using JSSBO or another stretchy BO. Weave in any remaining tails. </div>

I used plain 1x1 ribbing, and I knit it sideways so that it was seamless, even though the original was knit longways. When I was knitting another scarf in Fisherman's rib, I realized it looked a lot like the scarf from my friend. This pattern is my new and improved Katie Scarf.<br />

Here is a photo of the original, below, for reference. I looked up the brand, echo, and they don't seem to sell scarves in this style anymore. We don't have to worry about that though; we can just knit our own.<br />

I knit three of these, actually, because I fell in love with the first one. They are quite a bit of knitting, and since it's a simple stitch it does get a little boring, but I think the results are well worth it.<br />
<br />

I used a bit under one skein of Loops & Threads Madrid for the variegated yarn, and about two skeins of Patons Classic Wool Roving for each scarf, with size 11 circular needles. It is knit flat, and you can use straight needles if you prefer, but I just really love my circulars.<br />
<br />
CO 41, longtail method using the variegated yarn. If you would like to change the width, just add or subtract a multiple of two.<br />
<br />
Row 1: k1, p1 across, ending with k1<br />
<br />
*Change colors here, to the solid yarn. Don't cut the yarn while knitting, just carry it up.*<br />
<br />
Row 2: k1, *k1b (knit 1 below), p1; repeat from * across to last 2 sts, k1b, k1<br />
<br />
Row 3: k1, *p1, k1b; repeat from * across to last 2 sts, p1, k1<br />
<br />
*Change colors back to the variegated yarn.*<br />
<br />
Repeat rows 2 and 3 until the scarf is as long as you would like. To get the stripes, continue to change colors every two rows. Essentially, knit a repeat of rows 2 and 3, then change colors, then knit rows 2 and 3, thn change again, continuing the pattern. I tried to match up the colors, so that the scarf started and ended with the same color in the variegated yarn, so that the seam was less noticeable.<br />
<br />
BO, leaving a long tail to seam the ends together. I used JSSBO because it's nice and stretchy, which is what we want with this scarf. Seam the ends, and weave in any remaining tails.<br />
<br />

I used Natural for the Roving and Mist for the Madrid for this scarf. The finished size of the scarf is 14"x66", which wraps around twice.<br />

<span style="color: red;"><br /></span>
This one is Aran for the Roving and Denim for Madrid.<br />
<br />
I'm not sure why, but Madrid has been on clearance the last few times I've been to Michaels. I really enjoy the yarn, and they have so many pretty colorways, so I hope they don't discontinue it. You can, of course, use other yarns for this project. Look for something variegated, with long, gradual color changes, and something solid, unless you want both solid or both variegated colors. The yarn should be fluffy, and I thing single ply works very well for this scarf. Both Madrid and Roving are single ply yarns, and they both have a bit of a fuzzy halo, which mimics the original scarf from Katie.<br />

I've tried to still respond to comments on posts here and on Ravelry, where my username is <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/people/crazyalyssa" target="_blank">crazyalyssa</a>.<br />
I took a break from knitting and crocheting for a while, to focus on other things, and to work on a counted cross stitch project that I began about six years ago. I would do tiny bits at a time, then get bored and put it down. I came across it last January, and decided I wanted to finally finish it. It took me such a long time, but I finally completed it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhahCgrYoj1_e8-1_-tyKb-_RUq4bf1j59PnPcXpSqw9GYHUYnsQi3jZAmI3PBo2Be6Jsn3i4MJUenYhdL6Q6id9C-THwjqWYh7qeTLMH266xPmAgh5qiCqwudrIFb-UuC7s-I0QqAroxM/s1600/DSC_8221+Ballet+needlepoint.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1588" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhahCgrYoj1_e8-1_-tyKb-_RUq4bf1j59PnPcXpSqw9GYHUYnsQi3jZAmI3PBo2Be6Jsn3i4MJUenYhdL6Q6id9C-THwjqWYh7qeTLMH266xPmAgh5qiCqwudrIFb-UuC7s-I0QqAroxM/s640/DSC_8221+Ballet+needlepoint.jpg" width="633" /></a></div>
<br />
This was my first large needlepoint project, and I'm not sure I'll have the patience to do another one for a long time! Following those tiny charts and stitches may have killed my up close vision though!<br />
<br />
After finishing it, I washed it as per the instructions, and framed it. I've been dancing since kindergarten, and ballet means so much to me.<br />
<br />
After finishing that, I decided I wanted to crochet a blanket. I liked <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/victorian-lattice-square" target="_blank">this square</a>, and then swatched it. I then edited it a bit to make it smaller and have fewer rows. Here is my final blanket, <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/projects/crazyalyssa/victorian-lattice-square" target="_blank">Victorian Lattice Throw</a>.<br />
<br />

<br />
As for the blog, I hope to start writing a few patterns again. I don't think I will be posting as often as I previously did, as I simply don't have time, but I would love to get back into it. I have tried to answer questions as they come up, but sometimes I forget what the pattern was, since I may have made it four or five years ago, and I may have given the scarf as a gift, or not have it with me to look at to answer questions.<br />
<br />
I know a lot of people ask for videos for some projects, so I would also like to figure out how to start doing that too.<br />
<br />
XOXO, Alyssa<br />

I used about 1 1/2 skeins of Simply Soft in Black with an I hook. </div>
</div>
<div>
Ch 190, join with at st without turning</div>
<div>
Row 1: ch 4 (counts as dc, ch 1), *sk 1 ch, dc in next ch, ch 1; rep from * across to end, join with sl st in 3rd ch of starting ch 4. </div>
<div>
Row 2: ch 4, (counts as dc, ch 1), *dc in ch 1 sp, ch 1; rep from *across to end, skipping last ch 1 sp, join with sl st in 3rd ch of starting ch 4. </div>
<div>
This moves over to the right every row. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Rep row two until your infinity scarf is as wide as you would like. Fasten off, and weave in all ends. </div>
<div>
Cut lengths of fringe about 9" long. With a crochet hook, attach one piece to every ch 1 sp on one of the sides. I chose the starting ch side, since the dc, ch 1 side looked nicer. </div>

My finished scarf is 11"x72". I love the fringe, and how it makes a simple scarf pop! I think this would be really nice with a chunky yarn too, so I may try that soon too!</div>

This was made as a men's scarf for a gift, but it's so plushy and warm that I think I'm going to make myself one too!<br />

I used about one and a third skeins of Lion Brand Scarfie in Denim/Navy with size 9 needles.<br />
<br />
CO 45, longtail<br />
<br />
Row 1: K1, *k2, p1; rep from * to end to last 2 sts, k2<br />
<br />
Row 2: K1, p1, *k2, p1; rep from * to end to last st, k1<br />
<br />
Rep rows 1-2 until you have reached the desired length. BO using JSSBO or another stretchy one. Fasten off, and weave in any remaining tails.<br />
<br />

My finished scarf is 10"x62". This stitch is reversible, which is nice. Sometimes I don't like knit scares that aren't reversible, since then you can see the wrong side. </div>

I used two skeins of Red Heart Soft in Grape with a J hook. This scarf is worked in joined rounds. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Bobble: (yo, insert hook in next st, yo, draw yarn through st and up to level of work) 3 times in same st, yo, draw yarn through all 7 loops on hook </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ch 160, join in 1st ch with a sl st, without turning</div>
<div>
Row 1: ch 3 (counts as dc), *bobble in next ch, ch 1, sk next ch; rep from * to end across, join in too of ch 3 with sl st</div>
<div>
Row 2: ch 4 (counts as dc, ch 1), (bobble, ch 1) in each ch 1 sp across to end, bobble in last ch 1 sp, join in top of ch 3 with sl st</div>
<div>
Row 3: ch 3 (counts as dc), (bobble, ch 1) in each ch 1 sp across to end, join in top of sh 3 with st st</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Rep rows 2 and 3 until your scarf is the desired width. Fasten off after either a row 2 or 3, and then weave in all ends. </div>

Bobbles like this are one of my favorite crochet stitch patterns because they're pretty easy and create this wonderful texture. My finished scarf is 9 1/2" x 68". </div>

I used two skeins of Loops & Threads Charisma in Charcoal with an N hook. This pattern is worked in rounds, joined at the ends. </div>
<div>
Ch 64, join in 1st ch with sl st, careful not to twist chain. </div>
<div>
Row 1: ch 3, (dc, ch2, 2dc) in 1st ch, *sk next 3 ch, (2dc, ch2, 2 dc) in next chain; rep from * to end across to last 3 ch, sk next 3 ch, join to 3rd ch of beg ch3 with sl st</div>
<div>
Row 2: sl st in next dc and in ch2 sp, ch 3, (dc, ch2, 2dc) in ch 2 sp, *(2dc, ch2, 2dc) in next ch 2 sp; rep from * to end across, join to 3rd ch or beg ch 3 with sl st</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Rep row 2 until cowl is desired length. Fasten off and weave in any remaining ends. </div>

I liked this cowl so much that I made another one! This one is made with one skein of Loops & Threads Zoomba in Passion. It is 30" around and 8" high. I only started with 48 chain sts. If you would like to change the width around your neck, just chain any multiple of 4. </div>
