My dear hubby wanted a new scarf - with little squares please, he said.
Well, what my dear hubby wants - he gets (and it did just so happen I had the perfect yarn squirrelled away and knew exactly the right stitch to use!)
So, do you want to see what he got? Okay, here it is...
and a close up
He was so pleased with it that I thought I would share my recipe for this scarf with you just in case someone else wanted a new scarf, with little squares please! I say recipe as this stitch has been around a very long time. I am simply sharing how I chose to use it...
Materials
I used approx 200g Rowan Pure Wool DK from stash
Size 4.5mm knitting needles
Measurements (unblocked) approx 8" x 68"
Cast on 48 stitches (or any multiple of 4)
Rows 1-4: (K4,P4) to end
Row 5-8: (P4,K4) to end
Repeat rows 1 - 8 until scarf reaches desired length.
Block lightly if you wish.
I did not block my scarf as hubby liked the bumpy effect of the weave.
