Easy 18-Stitch 4-Row Noro Garter Striped Scarf

Very easy, didn’t fit any pattern I found on Ravelry so I made my own.

Cast on 18 stitches (gauge is not important)

Knit in garter stitch and then switch colors every 4 rows.

After 2 rows of each color, you will be back on the side the other color yarn is on and carry up that strand by twisting it around the other before you start the first stitch of the 3rd row.

This will make the side cleaner looking. Make as long as you like!

Drop Stitches Like It's Hot Hat

I wanted to create a quick-to-make hat for a present that was trendy and a bit punky. This is what I came up with.

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS: 21" circumference x 7 1/2 " height
YARN: 1 skein Bernat Softee Chunky (Bulky size)
COLOR: Grass
NEEDLES: US 9 circular needle and US 9 double pointed needles
GAUGE: 14 stitches/4 inches in Stockinette stitch. Update needle size to obtain gauge.
NOTIONS: 5 place markers and 1 yarn needle to weave in ends

PATTERN:
- Cast on 72 stitches
- PM at beginning of round
- K2, P2 for 3rounds
- (K6, K2tog, K6, K2tog, YO, PM, K2tog) 4 times
- Knit in stockinette stitch until the hat measures 5 inches from the bottom.
- Knit to 1 stitch before PM and drop the stitch off the needle. (This is the stitch that was the YO.) Repeat for the remainder of the row.
- Start decrease: knit to 2 stitches before each marker and K2tog. Continue until 12 stitches remain.
- Cut yarn to at least 8 inches and weave through remaining stitches.
- Weave in ends.

Enjoy!

Baby Socks Finished!

Finished the Just Your Basic Baby Socks in purple worsted alpaca. I need to find the label as I can't remember the yarn I used! I love working with smaller projects but I frogged part of one of the socks 5 times due to ?ADD?
