Repeat rows 1-8, 23 more times for a total of 24 repeats, or until desired length.
End on a row 8 and then BO in the K1, P1 pattern.
Wear as a scarf or sew the CO & BO edges to wear as an infinity scarf.
Weave in the ends.
No blocking necessary.
I didn’t block mine, as I’m not a fan of blocking, however a light block would help even out the stitches and a heavy block would bring out the lace.
This is a lovely chunky lace scarf (free) knitting pattern. A lace pattern that knits up quickly! 🥰
I originally wanted to knit this scarf length-wise, which is a lot of CO STS. I bit off a little more than I could chew.
I CO 141 STS and knitted 4 rows in about 4 hours. I restarting too many times to count. I quickly realized I already knew how to count to 141, 140 and 142, (I went to kindergarten). Stop the insanity! 🤯
I decided to knit it from side to side… that was much easier. (sigh)
By row 40 I was comfortable with the pattern and by row 80 I was confident in it. :)
I might try knitting it length-wise one day, but honestly counting stitches isn’t my thing. I enjoy creating, casting-on, buying yarn, knitting and wearing. I LOVE low-stress & no-stress patterns. :) That’s my thing and I’m sticking to it!
