Rabbit-Proof Scarf
A MOREHOUSE MERINO ORIGINAL PATTERN
featured in the book
Morehouse Farm Merino Knits
Size: about 8" wide—to desired length of scarf
Yarn:
Lace yarn, about 500 yards
(sample is knit using Morehouse Merino Lace, 3 skeins)
Needles:
#4 or #5
Gauge:
6 stitches = 1 inch over garter stitch pattern
(before washing/blocking)
Cast on 49 stitches and knit 20 rows
then start with pattern.
First row: knit 3 stitches, *drop 1 stitch (drop it off the needle –
then later pull dropped stitch down to cast on), knit 6 stitches;
repeat from * to last 4 stitches – drop next stitch, and knit the
last 3 stitches. Knit 3 rows. Next row: *knit 6 stitches, increase
1 stitch (increase by picking up yarn between stitches with left-hand
needle and knitting the loop – the hole it creates in row below doesn’t
matter, because this stitch will be dropped and unraveled a few rows later);
repeat from * to end of row, ending row with knit 6 stitches. Knit 9 rows.
Next row: *knit 6 stitches, drop next stitch off needle (unravel stitch
down to where you did the increase); repeat from * to end of row, ending
row with knit 6 stitches. Knit 3 rows. Next row: knit 3 stitches, *increase
1 stitch (work increase as before – by picking up yarn between stitches and
knitting loop), knit 6 stitches; repeat from * to last 3 stitches, end row
with increase 1 stitch, knit 3 stitches. Knit 19 rows.
Repeat this pattern sequence to desired length of scarf, ending with 19 knit
rows, then work first row of pattern. Bind off loosely.
Washing/blocking: soak scarf in warm water for a few minutes. Squeeze out
as much water as possible (or roll scarf in towel and squeeze towel). Lay flat to dry,
stretching scarf to final size. There is no need to pin it – just stretching it
thoroughly will be enough.
