Knitting Patterns

This novel contains six basic knitting patterns. Here are some links to other fun knitting websites:

This is a knitting pattern that didn’t make it into the book:

Horseshoe Scarf

US 9 straight knitting needles

200 meters medium bulky yarn

Cable needle

Cast on 30 stitches. Knit 8 rows in garter stitch.

Pattern:

Row 1: K 5, Yarn Over, slip next stitch to right needle, knit next 2 stitches together, then pass the slipped stitch over them both. Yarn Over, knit 14, YO, slip stitch to right needle, knit 2 together, pass slipped stitch over, YO, knit last five stitches.

Row 2: K5, purl to last 5 stitches, K5.

Cable Row: K5, YO, slip 1, K2tog, pass the slipped stitch over, YO. Knit 1, slip next 3 stitches to cable needle and hold them BEHIND your work, knit next 3 stitches, then knit stitches off the cable needle. Slip next3 stitches onto cable needle, hold cable needle in FRONT of your work, knit next 3 stitches, then stitches off the cable needle. K1, YO, slip 1, K2tog, pass slipped stitch over, YO, K5.

Knit rows 1 and 2 until you have 10 rows after that first cable row. Knit the Cable Row, followed by Row 2, then rows 1 and 2 for 10 rows again. Continue in this manner until scarf is desired length, I personally like them about 5 feet long. Knit 8 rows garter stitch and cast off.
