My inner knitting cycle is totally wacked out. When it started getting cooler here in last May I found myself thinking Christmas presents and knitting ideas, because that's what I've always done when the temperatures start decresing. Now it's getting warmer but I feel like knitting again, because I've started to see Christmas pictures around.
This is what I made, and I can't give it to anyone here for Christmas because it's too hot and it would be pure madness. So most likely someone back home will get this soft package.
Oh I am so excited. Isn't it awesome. It's my first time I've written knitting instructions so be nice, but do ask if there's something you don't understand.
What I really wanted to make was blanket with this patern, but I wasn't sure how it would work out, so I thought I'd knit something smaller first, hence the scarf. There's a lot of people who've crochet chevron blankets but I wanted to try knitting the patern. I've written the instructions in English and Finnish so take your pick and go for it. It's easy!

neulo kaikki oikein. Neulo langankierrot silmukan takareunasta, jotta lisäysten
kohdalle ei synny reikää.
This scarf is gorgeous!! I'm going to put it on my to-do list once my sewing bug disappears, and I feel the need to play with yarn. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHow fabulous! It's definitely on my to do list.
ReplyDeleteNot sure what you mean by "knit stitches through the back loop where you have added stitches to avoid holes."? Might need to ask someone about that.
Love this! I'm headed to search through my stash right now and see if I have anything suitable on hand. We must be on the same wave length because I've been thinking about making a chevron scarf for weeks (chevrons are everywhere this season) but thought I might have to crochet it. But I'd much rather knit. So excited to try this!
ReplyDeleteOoooo I want to make one now... I crocheted a chevron cushion the other week... I'm loving the chevron thing at the moment :)
ReplyDeleteLooks really good! :) I've never knitted anything particularly patterned... I've got this one book marked. Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteYour scarf is beautiful, love black and white!
ReplyDeleteHauskan näköinen, nappaan heti puikoille kunhan keskeneräisten kutomusten kassiin tulee vähän tilaa (toivottavasti ennen joulua) :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! I'm going to give it a try...
ReplyDelete...oh, and kiitos for the instructions :)
ReplyDeleteOoohh, this looks SO awesome (like everything you do :) If I have time, I'll try this, either wool or cotton thread... thanks for the instructions!!!
ReplyDelete(p.s. this scarf addict would be happy to wear that in the Finnish winter ;)
beautiful! perfect for Icelandic winter ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for all the lovely comments. It's really easy to make and I like it too so I'm glad I got to share it with you.
ReplyDeleteOn row 2 knit normally does that mean k1 all across ? thanks
