ABBREVIATIONS:

K2tog: knit two stitches together as if they were one.

Incr. 1: This is a single increase. You can do as “Make 1”: With right needle lift up the yarn between the needles and place on the right needle. Then knit this stitch.

OR as a lifted increase: with the right needle, lift the loop under the stitch on the left needle slide onto the left needle and knit it.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Using sequined yarn, loosely cast on 17 stitches. (For a loose cast on, use a size larger needle.)

Change to size 13 needles. Knit 1 row.

Row 1: (right side) K1, inc. 1, K13, K2tog, K1.

Row 2: *K1, P1. Repeat from *. End K1.

Repeat rows 1 and 2 until piece is 12 inches long, measured from the tip along left selvedge. Change to sport weight yarn and continue in established pattern until piece measures 52 inches. Lay the scarf flat to measure, being careful not to stretch it lengthwise. If you’d like a longer scarf, work to desired length minus 12 inches.

Change back to sequin yarn. Knit 12 inches in pattern, ending after Row 1.

Knit 1 row. (For a loose cast off - try knitting this row with a size larger needle.)

Bind off loosely.

Finishing: Dampen the scarf thoroughly. Lay scarf flat on towel and pat into shape, adjusting width to your preference. Pinning to width is recommended. If you have blocking pins, now is the time to put them to use. If you fold the scarf in the middle, you only have to find a countertop, ironing board, or space 32 inches long instead of 64 inches.

Let the scarf dry thoroughly before you wrap it around your neck and go forth to impress friends and strangers.
