Chevron Scarf: FREE Knitting Pattern
Three (3) skeins Mountain Meadow Cody yarn (sport weight) 2oz skein, 200 yds
Size 7, 8 or 9 needles, depending on how loose/open you want your finished scarf to be. Gauge is not critical.
You will need two stitch markers for the first section of the scarf.
Important stitches:
K1inc1 – knit in front of stitch, and then without slipping the stitch off your needle, knit into the back of the stitch (increase).
skp – Slip one stitch (knit wise), knit one stitch, pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch (decrease).
rm/pm – remove marker/place marker.
Cast on 9 stitches.
Facing Triangles:
- NOTE: Check your stitch count FREQUENTLY! The most common error is forgetting the K1inc1 at the beginning of the row.
Row 1: P1, K1inc1, turn; pm, s1, k to last stitch, move yarn to purl position, s1 purl wise.
Row 2: K1, K1inc1, k to marker, rm, k1, turn; pm, s1, k to last stitch, move yarn to purl position, s1 purl wise.
Repeat row 2 until all CO sts have been used up, ending with: K1, K1inc1, knit to marker, rm, k1. (17 stitches)
- FANCY EDGE: If you would like a “lacier” edge, use a yarn over (YO) increase instead of the K1inc1.
Without cutting yarn, make another facing triangle. End with s1, pm, k to last stitch, move yarn to purl position, s1 purl wise. (34 stitches)
Chevrons:
Row 1: K1, K1inc1, k to marker, rm, skp; turn, s1, pm, k to last stitch, move yarn to purl position, s1 purl wise.
Repeat Row 1 until there are 9 unknitted stitches; end with k1, K1inc1, k to marker, rm, skp, pm, k to last stitch, move yarn to purl position, s1 purl wise.
- FEELING LUCKY? Take three dice, roll them, add up the total and knit that many rows before turning. A totally random look!
Ending Triangle:
Repeat Row 1 above until there are 17 unknitted stitched on each needle; end with k1, K1inc1, k to marker, rm, skp, pm, k to last stitch, move yarn to purl position, s1 purl wise.
K1, K2tog, k to marker, rm, skp, pm, k to last stitch, move yarn to purl position, s1 purl wise. Repeat until you have three stitches left. Bind off. Weave in ends.
- NOTE: If you are using the YO increase, you have to K1, YO, K2tog, K2tog at the beginning of each row.
