Hey there, knitting enthusiasts! Today, let's dive into the world of Yarnology and explore a fun technique - knitting an I-cord and using it as a foundation row to create a unique pattern. Picture this: using variegated, also called self-pattern sock yarn for a twist of colors and solid color sock yarn for a cool visual effect.
For this project, we'll be crafting a scarf in a horizontal knitting back and forth 580 stitches in stockinette stitch, featuring a single knit row of a 6-stitch front cable. Grab your Yarnology tool and let's get started! Begin with the solid color sock yarn, knit 4 rows, introduce the cable row on the 5th, knit 6 more rows, and close off the 6-stitch front cable section.
Next up, switch to the variegated sock yarn and knit 20 rows to add some flair. To finish off the scarf, work an 8-row 2x2 ribbing border in both colors. Once the ribbing is complete, knit 4 more rows in garter stitch before binding off.
To complete the look, repeat the same pattern and color sequence for the second half of the scarf by picking up 580 stitches on the other part of the I-cord. And there you have it - a stylish and eye-catching scarf that showcases your knitting skills and creativity. Happy knitting!
Now pick up and knit 62 stitches from the scarf end edges and repeat the finishing edge of the scarf, work an 8-row 2x2 ribbing border in both colors. Once the ribbing is complete, knit 4 more rows in garter stitch before binding off.
