Kureyon sockyarn scarf pattern

This is the finished scarf after blocking and here is the pattern :

You will need : 2 balls Kureyon 4 ply sockyarn ; 3.75mm circular needle ( you can use straight needles for the main body of the scarf. )

Cast on 47 stitches and proceed in stocking stitch ( one row knit, one row purl ) for as long as you like ( my scarf is 160cm. long after blocking ). Knit the first stitch of every row and slip the last stitch of every row purlwise.

Cast off. Do not break yarn. Using your circular needle, pick up stitches down the length of the scarf side.Pick up one for every V shape made by your slipped stitches at the row ends.
( I picked up 262 stitches ). However long you have made your scarf you will need to pick up an even number of stitches.

Work in feather and fan stitch as below beginning with row 4 and then working 5 pattern repeats. Cast off loosely purlwise.

Repeat for the other side of the scarf.

Block severely for best result.

Feather and fan is worked as a multiple of eighteen stitches. However many stitches you have picked up, divide this by eighteen. If you are left with any over, divide by two and knit them at either end of the row. E.g. 14 X 18 = 252 stitches. This left me with 5 stitches to knit at the end of each row.
Pattern : Row 1 ( right side ) : Knit
Row 2 : Purl
Row 3 : * ( K2 tog ) 3 times, ( yo, K1 ) 6 times, (K2 tog ) 3 times. Repeat from *
Row 4 : Knit

Remember : if have any stitches left over you must work them at the beginning and end of the pattern repeat.

Hints : make it narrower and you may only use one ball. The top and bottom of the scarf will roll. I like this look. If you don't, add an edging of your choice. Match your sides by winding off yarn till you reach the correct point in the colour sequence for casting on the second side. Or be totally random - the choice is yours.
