The Richmond Scarf

Here is a new pattern I have just designed for knitters:

The Richmond Scarf

This scarf is really just decreases, yarn-overs, knits and purls. It is gorgeous in the Noro the example is made of! The Noro Silk Garden that I used is a bit bulky in places, so it knits up quite fast. I would recommend it for a past-beginner, not-yet-advanced knitter. It is a nice classy pattern, and when used with a bright yarn, would brighten any drab coat up, as you can see! The great thing about Noro is that the colour repeats hardly ever repeats!

Yarn: 1 ball Noro Silk Garden #308 – Lot B

1 ball Noro Silk Garden #273 – Lot A

Needles: Size 6mm or size needed to make gauge.

Gauge: 20sts and 10rows = 4 inches

Also needed: Tapestry needle to thread ends in when binding off.

Scarf pattern:

Cast on 37sts loosely.

Row 1: K1, * YO, K2tog, P1, K1 * to the end

Row 2: P1, * YO, P2tog, K1, P1 * to the end

Repeat these two rows until both balls of yarn have been knit.

Bind off, thread in ends.

You may block the scarf, but it will stretch considerably because of all the YO's.

Wear, and enjoy! Consider making one (or more!) as a Christmas present, because they are so easy to knit up, and so warm and comfy!

Just as smart as you thought.
