Louise Knits

This is a really effective stitch that really has only one row of pattern! I made it using a soft merino yarn in a lovely orange color. I haven't finished it yet but i thought I'd share the stitch with you. I uses 4mm needles but gauge here is not really important. You need to have a multiple of 18 stitches plus 8 - 4  extra on each side I cast on 44 stitches. Abbreviations: K - knit P - purl YO - yarn over K2tog - Knit two together Lets GO! knit 4 rows  in garter stitch. thats the edge - also the last 4 rows, when you have knitted the scarf as long as you like, will also be in garter stitch Lace Pattern: Row 1: K Row 2: K 4, P to last 4 sts, K4. REMEMBER 1st and last 4 sts are ALWAYS in K Row 3: K4 (as always!!) *K2 tog (3 times) YO, K1( 6 times), K2 tog (3 times)*  repeat from * to * till last 4 sts - K4 Row 4: K. That is the pattern!! Easy huh!!! knit as along as you like and end with 4 rows in garter stitch!!
