blue box stitch scarf

blue scarf 01


This scarf is a simple box stitch pattern with a garter stitch edge. I'm using size 5 needles and red heart yarn found at the Pearl on Canal Street (NYC) - I don't remember what kind, but suffice it to say it's red heart yarn, so it's cheap, it's acryllic, and I'm surprised I've made it this far on this project.

Pattern:

CO multiple of 4 sts +6 for edging.
k 3 rows.
row 1: k3, *k2, p2, repeat from * to last 3 sts, k3.
row 2: k3, *k2, p2, repeat from * to last 3 sts, k3.
row 3: k3, *p2, k2, repeat from * to last 3 sts, k3.
row 4: k3, *p2, k2, repeat from * to last 3 sts, k3.
rep rows 1-4 until desired length is achieved (minus a half an inch or less).
k 3 rows
BO.
