Savvy Needle Knitting Patterns

• Round 11:  At beginning of round, k2tog, knit all stitches to stitch 30, k2tog, knit all stitches to end of round
• Round 12 - 20:  Knit all stitches
• Repeat Rounds 11 - 20 until 50 stitches remain on needles
• Round 21: Rep Round 11 (48 stitches remain on needles)
• Round 22 - 41: Work k2 p1 ribbing

• Knit 3 rounds even after last increase round
• Next round: Knit 23 stitches, put next 12 stitches on waste yarn, knit remaining 23 stitches
• On next round, knit 23 stitches, and join to remaining 23 stitches, creating a tube with those 46 stitches and leaving the 12 thumb stitches unworked
• Knit 10 rounds even
• Knit 4 rounds of 1x1 rib
• Bind off loosely (I bind off using 2 needles held as 1, since I tend to bind off very tightly.)

THUMB:

• Pick up 12 thumb stitches on 2 dpns  (if you pick up more than 12 thumb stitches to fill in any gaps, be sure to decrease to an even number, so rib stitch will work out correctly.)
• Knit 2 rounds even
• Knit 4 rounds of 1x1 rib
• Bind off loosely and work in all loose ends

Work opposite arm warmer the same.

Knitting Patterns: Simple Textured Scarf

Good evening, everyone!  I'm finally updating my blog!  (Again!  Finally!).  Someone on Ravelry.com asked for me to make some of my knitting patterns accessible again, so here is my pattern for a simple textured scarf:

Simple Textured Scarf

Yarn: Wool-Ease Chunky - I think I only used 1 ball for it, but you might want to get 2 just in case!

Gauge: 11 Stitches x 12 rows = 4 inches on Size 13 needles in stockinette stitch

Instructions:

Cast on 18 stitches

Row 1 - 10:  Knit all stitches
Row 11: Knit 3, Purl 12, Knit 3
Row 12:  Knit all stitches
Repeat Rows 11 & 12 twice more
Row 15 - 22: Knit all stitches
Row 23: Repeat Row 11
Row 24: Knit all stitches
Repeat Rows 23 & 23 five times
Row 35 – 42 : Knit all stitches
Repeat Rows 11 – 42 until piece measures approximately 6 feet in length.
Final 10 rows:  Knit all stitches.  Bind off loosely.

NOTE:  Once you have the pattern down pat, you can change the length of each section by simply adding or subtracting the repeat rows.  This creates a variety of texture down the length of the scarf.

Enjoy!
