Totally Squared Scarf/Wrap

A great project to work on the go...knitting square by square to make this amazing scarf/wrap!

Very loosely based on the traditional Log Cabin quilt block, designer Mags Kandis worked this wrap/oversized scarf square by square in the easy and satisfying mitered-square method of color knitting. Finished Size: About 16½" (42 cm) wide and 66" (168 cm) long, after blocking.

Yarn: Sportweight (#2 Fine). Shown here: Rowan Kidsilk Haze (70% super kid mohair; 30% silk; 230 yd [210 m]/25 g): #597 jelly (lime green; A), #596 marmalade (orange; B), #583 blushes (rose; C), #600 dewberry (lavender; D), #582 trance (medium blue; E), #578 swish (gold; F), #581 meadow (pale blue; G), #595 liqueur (dark red; H), and #588 drab (grey; I), 1 ball each.

NeedleS: Size 7 (4.5 mm). Note: a 16" (40 cm) bamboo circular needle is recommended. Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.

Notions: Marker (m); tapestry needle

Another Great Scarf!

Just another fun scarf pattern using great yarn from Rowan!

Yarn:
Rowan Lima: 50g and 109 yards
1 Ball each of Colors 885 Machu Picchu (A), 888 Lima (B), 890 Bolivia (C), 886 Puno (D).
Approximate Finished Size After Blocking: 60” by 7”

Gauge:
16 sts = 4 X 4 inches in stockinette.
Supplies:
Knit: 1 pair US 10 32” circular needles (or size to achieve gauge)
Crochet: 1 pair 6.0MM Crochet Hook


Directions:
CO 243 sts using the cable cast on, leaving a 5 inch tail (or desired length - this will become your fringe).
You may want to place a marker every 20 sts to help in counting your stitches.

If you would like a longer scarf just cast on 4 more stitches for every extra inch you desire.
CO row counts as row 1. Begin pattern, changing colors every 3rd row on the RS, using your A, B, C, D color sequence.
Row 1: * K2, P2 * until last 3 sts, K2, P1
** Each time you reach the end of a row you will cut a 5 inch tail for fringe.
Repeat row 1, changing colors on every RS row
Approaching the End:
Once desired width is reached, work one RS row with the next color in the sequence.
Then cast off on WS row as follows:
Loosely K1, P1, pass knit stitch over purl stitch, drop off, K1 pass purl stitch over knit stitch. Continue as established in the K1, P1 pattern loosely. This cast off keeps the stitches
from leaning to one side or the other and finishes the piece off nicely.

Finishing:
Trim your fringe and then block lightly.

A Real Winter Project- A Knitted Hanging

With the "holidaze" winding down and winter gearing up, what better way to stay indoors and commit to a grand project. This knitted hanging (designed by knitting artist Kaffe Fassett) could easily be turned into a huge project by doubling the strips for a blanket...it up to you...or it's up to how long your winter lasts...LOL.
