Join us for a week-long celebration of Trendsetter Yarns! Barry Klein, perhaps the most innovative designer in our industry flies in from Los Angeles this afternoon to host a series of trunk shows in all our Great Balls of Yarn locations. We'll begin the tour Tuesday in Stuart, Wednesday in Aventura, Thursday in Boca and wrap it up Friday in our West Palm Beach location. Barry has sent us about 20 boxes of fabulous, new Trendsetter Yarns that will add sparkle and shine to everyone's life!! His designs are fresh, fun, ruffly, bedazzled, colorful and easy to knit! Choose from a new twist to the Classic Chanel Jacket to a Latin-inspired self-ruffling Flamenco wrap. There's something for everyone! If you happen to be in Boca on Thursday night, join us for a cocktail reception and hors d'oeuvres from 6 to 7:30. Enjoy the free pattern for the mitered scarf pictured here! This a a fun pattern designed and written by Karen Baumer.Instructions (uses 3 balls of Tonalita on size 9 needles)
Cast on 1 st. Row 1: Inc into stitch (2 sts) Row 2: Inc into first stitch, K to end. (3 sts)
Repeat Row 2 until one side edge of your triangle (i.e., not the “live” edge on the needle) is as wide as you want your scarf. About 5” is good, but skinnier or wider works too—it’s up to you. Now start your short row sections: Short Row Section: Row 1: Inc, SSK (or SKP throughout, your choice), turn. Row 2 and all even-numbered rows: Knit Row 3: Inc, K1, SSK, turn. Row 5: Inc, K2, SSK, turn. Row 7: Inc, K3, SSK, turn. Continue in this manner, increasing by one stitch in every odd-numbered row between the inc and the SSK (you won't actually need to count because you will always be SSK-ing the two stitches on either side of the gap that forms from your turn on the previous row).
Work until you've SSK-ed the last two stitches of the row. Next Row: start over at Row 1 of the Short Row Section. Continue working Short Row Sections until your scarf is almost as long as you want it. Once you have completed your final Short Row Section, proceed as follows--
Decrease Row: SKP, K to end. Repeat Decrease Row (i.e., decrease at start of *every* row) until you have one stitch left. Snip yarn and bind off stitch. Weave in ends and add fringe, if desired
For the last Triangle: Work as with previous triangles until 1/2 of the stitches are on the right needle and 1/2 of the stitches remain on the left needle. Instead of starting each garter stitch ridge with an increase, start the ridge with a decrease (i.e., K1, k2tog). Continue to work the decrease in the "middle" of the row as before, and after making this second decrease, both needles will have the same number of sts. When 6 sts remain, work as follows: K1, K3tog, turn, k2 k3tog, turn, k1 K2tog, cut yarn & pull through last remaining loop.
ABBREVIATIONS
