It’s funny that way! What yarn did you use and what size needles?

It worked just fine. I used the Vanna White (lion Brand) really thin yarn with the sparkle in it. It came out really well and I was pleasantly surprised.

I just cast off the regular way: knit two, pass first over second, knit next, pass first over second, etc.

I take the tails at each end and sew up each split at both ends. I think it looks better that way.

How did it work with the stitches you used? I’ve got a couple finished, will take pictures and post, maybe tomorrow.

Is there a certain way that you need to cast off? Or do you just cast of like you would any other scarf?

I would think this would work. You will have to do about 4 inches or so before you see what it does. If both of you would send pictures, I’ll be glad to post them.

Hi there!

I love this pattern and I am currently trying it out. However, I bought a thinner yarn and when i cast on 20, it looked too thin, so i upped it to 28 where i do 12, 10, then 8 stitches for my turns, that way i can still have 4 in the middle. Do you think this will work? Right now, I’ve knitted about an inch and a half and it kinda looks like a bow tie. haha. It is starting to puff out though on the sides. Is this normal or completely wrong?

I’m not sure what you would do with 30 stitches. All you can do is try, but you won’t see it turning for the first few inches, which would be a pain for determining what to do.

For 20 stitches, 8 are used for the pattern, leaving 12, but in reality only 4 stitches in the center are never worked for the pattern, because when you start it the second time, you are on the other side.

I think I would try 10 stitches for the pattern: knit 10, reverse and knit 10; knit 8, reverse and knit 8; knit 6, reverse and knit 6; knit 4, reverse and knit 4, then knit across. That would leave 10 stitches in the middle that are never worked for the ruffle look.

Maybe that is too many in the middle, in which case you would start with 12 in the pattern, which would leave 6 in the middle that are never worked in the pattern.

I think the difference between these two might be how big the ruffle is.
