A River and a Stream Scarf

It's about time for a new post and a finished scarf! Let's get it a-rolling!

A RIVER AND A STREAM SCARF 


Materials needed:

4-6 or more skeins of your favorite worsted weight yarn (I used Moonlight Mohair - Glacier Bay; I know it says "bulky" but it's really just a lie...)
Size 4 or 5 needles (depending on your gauge).
Stitch markers (optional)

The Pattern

Note: This is a simple pattern, only 8 rows.
CO 34.
  1. (Wrong side) k2, p6, k2 *p4, k1*3x,k1,p6,k2
  2. (RS) p2 *klb,p1*3x,p1,*p1,k4*3x,p2*klb,p1*3x,p2
  3. R1
  4. p2,*k1b,p1*3x,p1,*2x2 right cable* 3x, p2, *klb,p1*3x,p2
  5. R1
  6. R2
  7. R1
  8. Same as R4 but left cable instead
  9. -infinity. Keep going as long as you like (or as many skeins you have to give).
For your last row, use any bind off method you'd like.

Hope your scarf came out as nice as mine!

Stupid Yarn.

When I buy a yarn skein, I expect to be able to easily knit from said yarn. But nooo, once you use a certain amount of yarn, you find all the tangles. It is supposed to be able to easily pull out, but the time that could have been spent knitting now has to be spent untangling. This is such a waste of my life. Note to Red Heart, your wind-up machines can be more efficient.
