Kri’s Chevron Scarf

May 23rd, 2006

I recently had this idea inspired by a shawl that I’m making. I enjoyed the way the increases shaped the shawl into a triangle. The needles were knitted on the two bottom edges as if it was straight, but the pattern caused it to knit into a point.

I wanted to do something similar with the increases, but create a scarf instead. It took me quite a few tries of casting on and ripping it out (roughly 5 or 6), but I think I have it all set now. I’m doing it out of a skein of sock yarn I had left, so unfortunately I won’t have enough to do a whole tester scarf. It’ll probably be half the size it needs to be.

The sock yarn makes the scarf look really cool because it is self striping. I want to re-try this scarf some day with a different self-striping yarn, perhaps in something softer to the skin.
I have in mind what I want to do to finish it off, but we’ll see if it works. Eventually I’ll type up the pattern when it’s done, and share it. I’m really happy with what I’ve got so far!

This one will definitely need blocking when it’s done. It really likes to curl.
