I finally finished this scarf last night. Unfortunately, the summer heat means I won’t be able to wear it anytime soon though. I made it using two skeins of Naturally Caron Spa yarn in the color Misty Taupe. It’s a blend of Microdenier Acrylic and Bamboo, which means it’s super silky!  Here are some (rough) directions if you feel like having a go at it. Just be ready to knit for a while since you’ll be using US size 4 needles:
1.) CO 25 stitches.2.) Seed stitch some rows (K,P*). I have no idea how many I did, but it ended up being approximately 6 inches in length. You’re basically knitting the purls and purling the knits.3.) K,P,K,P,K,K,P,P,K,K,P,P,K,P,P,K,K,P,P,K,K,P,K,P,K the next row.4.) K,P,K,P,P,P,K,K,P,P,K,K,P,K,K,P,P,K,K,P,P,P,K,P,K the next row.5.) Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you reach desired length of scarf (minus 6 inches). I used the tail from joining the second skein as a reference point of the halfway mark. So I just kept periodically folding the scarf in half at the tail and seeing if the second half was about to reach the point before the seed stitch end. (I know, it’s confusing. Just read it a few times and you’ll probably get what I mean. I hope.)6.) End the scarf with 6 more inches of seed stich.7.) BO working in pattern.8.) Sew the tails in and wait for winter to show off your creation!
