After knitting the scarf for my husband, I suddenly found that Erika doesn’t have any scarf!!
Oh my GOd, I shouldn’t left her out.
SO, I am going to knit her a little scarf. Since she is tiny, she doesn’t need a long scarf, nor anything too fancy.
I used the stitch pattern from “A treasury of knitting patterns” by Barbara Walker.
THe SLipped Diagonal Rib pattern, it looks simple, but quite stylish if you compare with the usual 1×1, or 2×2 ribs patterns.
I casted on 20 stitches only, and repeat the pattern over and over.
I will try few more repeats tonight and see how it goes.
Slipped Diagonal Rib Pattern:
Row 1 (WS) – K1 , *K3, p1; rep from *, end K1.
Row 2 – K1, *Sl 1 wyib, p3; rep from *, end k1.
Row 3 – K1, *k3, sl1 wyif; rep from *, end K1.
Row 4 – K1, *Drop sl-st to front of work, p2, pick up dropped st and knit it, p1; rep from * , end K1.
Row 5 – K2, *p1, k3; rep from *.
Row 6 – K1, *p2, sl 1 wyib, p1; rep from * , end k1.
Row 7 – K2, *sl 1 wyif, k3; rep from *.
Row 8 – K1, p2, *drop sl-st to front of work, p2, pick up dropped st and knit it, p1; rep from * to last 3 sts, end drop sl-st to front of work , p1, pick up dropped st and purl it, k1.
(quite familiar to the ballband washcloth pattern though.)
