My first free pattern! Indeed! I did it!
Finally!
The specifics:
Pattern: The Not-Quite-Straight Scarf
Needles: US 9 (I used my Brittany Birch ones, always a treat with scarves)
Yarn: Andean Silk from Knitpicks
Description: This scarf is knit on a bias so that the ridges of reverse stockinette create diagonal lines. It is incredibly beginner friendly and unlike many bias-knit scarves, it features squared ends instead of points.
The pattern is simple to memorize and simpler to execute.
I designed it because I wanted to make a scarf for my brother for Christmas. I wanted something less boring that garter stitch or ribbing but still something that could be masculine. His version is in black. You can see more photos of both the red and black versions on my flickr site (see the sidebar to the right).
In additional to being available on my Free Patterns Page -
Heres the link to the PDF: Not-Quite-Straight-Scarf
I’ll only have it there until the new Google platypus Gdrive finally happens (google it – it’s going to be amazing)- then I’m going to host it over there.
In the meantime, send me links of your finished scarves – I’ll love to make a gallery of them sometime… I hope you enjoy the pattern – let me know if you have problems (this is the first time I’ve written a pattern, be easy on me).
(Oh – and the people modelling the scarves on this post are not me. They are my friends Leah and Kyle).
Oh – and an update on the sock curse – for now, my boyfriend and I are giving it another try. But there’s no way I’m knitting the other sock anytime soon. Thanks for all your encouragement by the way. You all are great!
It’s cute! I will definitely give it a try. Maybe with some on my handspun… Thanks for sharing it.
Best of luck with the bf!
Very cute scarf – you’re right – interesting, but not girly.
Thanks for the pattern, it’s perfect for me, cant wait to try it…(I linked to this site from your craftster post…)
This scarf looks awesome! I think a few people will be recieving these as christmas presents…
Oh how awesome! I can’t wait to try this pattern out. Thanks for sharing it. I’ll be sure to keep you posted on how it all works out.
Thanks for the pattern, it’s great! I love it. Will definately make at least one scarf.
Nice scarf!! This would be perfect for my boyfriend. He says he doesnt do scarfes, but maybe this scarfe will change his mind
Thanks so much for the gorgeous pattern. I’m starting this ASAP – need to get away from all those leaves y’know…
That’s lovely! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thank You
thanks for sharing, I’ve made one out, though haven’t done the blocking yet. it’s beautiful.
So cute! Thanks so much for the pattern! It’s lovely -and just right for something that is repetitive enough but not boring, if you know what I mean!
Thanks again,
Joan
Thanks for the pattern – I just used it for a 78-yard skein of handspun cashmere/silk and I love it!
Looking for a bias pattern to knit, I discovered yours and began it tonight, using Berooco Foliage Yarn and size 11 needles. The Foliage yarn works beautifully with this pattern, striping perfectly.
This yarn has thick and thin and so the product looks more “nubby” and a bit less sophisticated, but I think my 21 year old daughter will love it. Warm, snuggly and fun. Thank you.
