Entrelac Class Scarf

Entrelac Knit Scarf

Materials: 100g worsted weight yarn or more if you would like a longer or wider scarf. A self-striping yarn works great with this project.

Needles: size 9 or whatever size you feel comfortable using or go with the size listed on the yarn you are using.

Cast on 1 stitch.

BEGINNING TRIANGLE

ROW 1: kf&b in the first stitch and turn.

ROW 2: kf&b in the first stitch, k to end and turn.

Repeat ROW 2 until the desired width of your scarf is reached ending with an even number of stitches. (30 is a good number but you may want less for a narrower scarf or more for a wider scarf).

BODY TRIANGLES

ROW 1: kf&b in the first stitch, k2tog, turn.

ROW 2 and all even rows: knit.

ROW 3: kf&b in the first stitch, knit to one stitch before the gap k2tog (closing the gap), turn.

Repeat ROWS 2 & 3 until you have k2tog the last 2 stitches and turn. (1 triangle completed)

Repeat this section Rows 1 thru 3 until the desired length is reached.

LAST (FINISHING) TRIANGLE

Repeat the last section until you have worked through half the amount of stitches you started with for the width of your beginning triangle (e.g. If you had 30 stitches as your width number then half would be 15), knit back to the edge.

ROW 1: k2tog, k to one stitch before the gap, k2tog, turn.

ROW 2: k back to the edge.

Repeat row 1 & 2 until 2 stitches remain, k2tog, cut yarn thread through last stitch and work in all ends.

K = knit
Kf&b = increase in the first stitch by knitting in the front of the stitch and then the back of the same stitch.
K2tog = knit 2 stitches together.
