East to Knit Scarf

 A Scarf for Donna

An easy scarf to knit.

The pattern is called the Mistake Stitch Pattern and is only one row repeated.

Knit 2, Purl 2, repeat till end of row and Purl the last stitch.

Cast on an odd amount of stitches, depending on how wide you want the scarf.

(I casted on 33 stitches)

I used size 11 needles.

Keep on knitting till you have the desired length.

Fringe is optional but it I think looks nicer with it.

Cut three pieces of yarn 10 inches long.

When attaching fringe fold in half.

I used a latch hook to attach the fringe to the scarf.

Cut 3 strands of yarn each 10 inches long for each fringe.

Hold 3 strands together and fold in half.

Use crochet hook to draw fold through edge of piece, forming a loop.  

Pull ends of fringe through this loop.

Pull to tighten.

Make fringe in center of last row.

Make an equal number of fringes spaced between each purl ridge along both side edges.

Trim fringe evenly.

I used size 9 knitting needles - started with circular and when the stitches were manageable changed to straight needles.

The yarn is Bernat Pop

Interesting color name - Lipstick On Your Collar 🙂

This was a fun project and I look forward to making more.
