Happy New Year everyone! I had an absolute mare with that last infinity scarf pattern I posted: it started off really well, but then I kept making mistakes, and in the end it just started to look like a fishing net - so I gave up. I'm sure Nancy Wyatt's original pattern, unadulterated and done using circular knitting needles would look just like the picture - and for that matter I'm sure the pattern I put up would have looked good if I hadn't been so ambitious to run before I could walk.
I didn't learn my lesson though. I found another, similar lace scarf pattern that could be done on straight knitting needles. I can't remember where I found this pattern, but it's really easy.
Lace Infinity Scarf Knitting Pattern
Start by casting on 58 stitches.
Row 2: K3, *YO, K2, Slip1, K1, PSSO (pass slip stitch over), K2tog, K2, YO, K1* repeat from * until there's one stitch remaining for K1.
Row 3: Purl
Row 4: K2, *YO, K2, Slip1, K1, PSSO, K2tog, K2, YO, K1*, repeat from * until two stitches remain for K2.
Repeat this pattern until the scarf is the desired length and attach the two ends together, or keep it separate if you want a regular scarf. Pretty simple really. Row 2 and 4 are practically the same except for the start and finish.
As this is only my second attempt at knitting, full stop. I have to confess that there are one or two holes that I need to weave in and disguise. We can't all be perfect.
Sorry Em, if you ever see this! It adds character.
I've actually completely run out of wool to finish this one, so I'm waiting on an order which, fingers crossed, will be the same midnight blue. But while I wait I've started on another project, for myself this time. Pictures and pattern will follow soon.
