Weekday Quickie!



This was just a little something I threw together with the leftover Soywool yarn.

You can either count out a set pattern or just go random here.

Cast on however many stitches across you want your scarf to be.
(Knit rows)Knit as many rows as you want on both sides.
(Loose row)Front Side: Increase every stitch on a row by wrapping your yarn over between each stitch. If you want longer loops wrap the yarn over twice. ( I think that's what I did on this one)
Back Side: Drop all of the wrapped stitches as you knit across. You don't knit any of the wrapped stitches, just the already knitted ones.
Then knit again.

It's an easy stitch once you get the hang of it. I have used it with a few different types/sizes of yarn to make "jewelery" scarves for friends.
