Pattern description from Crazy Aunt Purl’s Drunk, Divorced, and Covered in Cat Hair: “Even though this scarf is a super-simple mix of regular old knit stitches and a few yarn-over stitches, it produces a scarf that looks deceptively difficult. When non-knitting people ask me if it was hard to make, I lie right through my teeth and tell them, ‘Oh, yes, it was so complex! Isn’t it pretty!’ and I just carry on about it as if I were some great knitter who could make something other than a rectangle.”

Ingredients:

• Yarn: 1 skein bulky-weight yarn (I am using Lana Grossa Colore Print yarn in color #005). I’ve also made this using the basic worsted-weight Red Heart and it looked great!
• Needles: Size 13 needles
• Beer Selection: Newcastle Brown Ale
• Special Stitch: Yarn Over

“A Note on Knitting Two Stitches Together: Yes. ‘Knit 2 together,’ or K2tog, is a simple decrease, where you knit two stitches together as one. It also serves to keep your stitch count in this lacy scarf from growing out of control with all those yarn overs! Adding a yarn over increases the amount of loops on your knitting needles, so by knitting the two stitches together that come after the yarn over, you create a lovely lacy hole and also don’t have a bazillion stitches at the end of the row.”
