ALLURE SCARF

MATERIALS• 1 ball of Patons Allure 100g

• one pair of 5.50mm knitting needles

• matching sewing thread and sewing needle

NOTE–Duetothisknittingtechnique,thefinishedlengthandwidthof the scarf will be variable. The distance between the stitches and the number of stitches worked in each row will determine the dimensions. The scarf will lengthen when worn causing it to become a little narrower.Our pictured scarf is worked with 5 sts: working with more stitches will make your scarf wider but shorter.

NEATENING THE ENDSpread approx 10cm of the yarn widthways. Trim to neaten the end, then fold this end over twice. Using matching sewing thread and sewing needle, sew hem neatly in place (pic 1).

CAST ON BY PICKING UP STITCHES ALONG ONE EDGESpread the yarn widthways for the next 15cm. Topickupthefirststitch,holdingtheyarninyourlefthandandtheknitting needle in your right hand, insert the needle from back to the front through a hole at the top edge of the hem, then pick up another 4 stitches in this way, about 3-4cm apart along the same edge (pic 2). Turn your work so that the needle with the stitches is now in your left hand.

TO BEGIN KNITTINGInsertyourright-handneedleintothefrontofthefirststontheleft-hand needle, then through the edge of the unworked yarn, approx 3-4cm along (pic 3). Draw this new edge stitch through the old stitch and onto your right-hand needle, at the same time slipping the old stitch off the left-hand needle – one stitch is now completed. Repeat this process for remaining stitches, spreading the yarn widthways as needed and always working along the same edge.
