This leaves one stitch on the right hand needle. K1 then use the tip of the left needle to pull the first stitch over the new stitch, which leaves one stitch on the right hand needle. K1 and repeat to the end.<br /><br />There will be one remining stitch on the needle after the last slip stitch. Remove stitch from needle and pull yarn though to knot.<br /><br />Use tapestry needle to weave in all ends. Weave in ends up the edge of the work, following the path of the yarn and staying within the same color if using a multi-color yarn as I have.<br /><br /><strong>Option - </strong><br />If you want tassles on the ends, save back about half a skein of yarn for this and add at the end of the project.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5160458330174947154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAQw8vyxgR3xeVW53tUcfGHW8Fd0SxAmwaHXhU0OKA3h_KgBxEuDigQ6V40h5psaTaZDxRaOlMbji8Ykbno14I_bRymEe67ho-SH9sCO8YemjIi_LMdAswo9MQi8u8zdRs24zJ/s320/poppyscarf-sm.jpg" border="0" />Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892198.post-38873485758900331422007-12-06T09:09:00.000-08:002008-02-19T04:53:09.319-08:00RUFFLY CROCHET SCARF<span style="font-family:arial;">© Kemberlee, 2007</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">kals@fromcrooktohook.com</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5160455989417770786" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg84HU0fb_SCW6X-Z9uZawsmT_F4vRa6MzmW37TQDTUHVSV0patwmQmFbE8SMvlzW4_ks9RSE0goc8MjAsyGtWZTVHPbTppJ5Y5xSPPVJITuJrnAwQVCzMS6pkjcIiYIp8L3KqS/s320/brownsheep-scarf2.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><p><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Note:</span> This pattern can be used with any yarn and appropriate size hook. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Y</strong></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>arn used:</strong> Brown Sheep Handpaint Originals in English Garden colorway</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Hook size:</strong> 4mm, US size G<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Stitch note: </span>dc in the UK is a sc in the US…insert hook into stitch, yo, draw through, yo, draw through both loops.

If you like a longer ankle section and smaller cuff, just reduce the number of stitches to make the cuff…instead of 15, try 10 or even 5. This pattern is very flexible, and once you get used to the basic pattern you’ll see how easily it is to customize.<br /><br /></div><div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"><span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)">H</span><span style="COLOR: rgb(255,204,51)">A</span><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,204,0)">P</span><span style="COLOR: rgb(102,51,255)">P</span><span style="COLOR: rgb(255,153,255)">Y</span> <span style="COLOR: rgb(153,51,153)">S</span><span style="COLOR: rgb(255,204,102)">O</span><span style="COLOR: rgb(0,153,0)">C</span><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)">K</span>-<span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)">M</span><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,204,255)">A</span><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,204,0)">K</span><span style="COLOR: rgb(255,153,255)">I</span><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0)">N</span><span style="COLOR: rgb(255,102,0)">G</span><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)">!</span><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)">!</span></span></span> </div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com
