Thats great! And I also wanted to say thank you so much for being such a great seceret pal!
It didn't look wide enough to me. I’m using blue sky alpaca worsted and size 8 needles.
Notes on variations:
If you add 3 stitches, the pattern becomes
row 1: Slip one with yarn in back, *k3 p3* p1
row 2 : Slip one with yarn in front, *p3 k3* k1
repeat for 7 rows
row 8: Slip one with yarn in front, *p3 k3* k1
row 9 Slip one with yarn in back, *k3 p3* p1
repeat for 7 rows
Or you could just add 6 stitches and it’s much easier (but then it’s too wide!)
Thanks for sharing the pattern with us.
Love the pattern, just finished it in a charcoal/grey alpaca blend. It is beautiful, can't see if there is any fringe on it. If there is, what does it measure.
This is for a special guy and I am sure he will love it.
Fabulous pattern. I'm knitting it as a Xmas present for a guy. Thanks!
I finished this fantastic scarf for a friend of mine.
Here is my blog entry on it. Great pattern, and thank you! - Charles

I saw this on ravelry and it is EXACTLY what I am looking for to create for a friend in Israel!
Thanks so much for sharing!
yay! found it on Ravelry and it's exactly what I need. Thanks!
I'm doing it in Louisa Harding Cashmere Aran (using a single strand)and it's turning out beautifully.Photos on Ravelry under laurencara.
I've just started this scarf, and though there's still a long way to go, it's turning out to be really lovely! It's amazing how it doesn't curl; I've passed on the slip every other row trick to my knitter friends.
Thanks for posting the pattern!
Thank you so much for this pattern! It's gorgeous!
I didn't double the yarn, and it turned out great still. I also made it super long and added stripes per my husband's request.
I added photos to the Ravelry page. I hope that's okay. If not I totally understand if you take them down!
Thank you again. My husband absolutely loves it. :)
This is great! I'm a beginner at knitting and was looking for something stylish but not too difficult to try for my fiance for christmas. Thank you so much for posting! I can't wait to start it.
Hmm...I also just noticed that this pattern is "doubled" and I'm not at all familiar with how to do that (although I am capable of Googling the process). Any tips for doubling? Is it too difficult to try for a beginner? And would the pattern be okay without it? Tara W. I noticed you said you didn't double, but I don't know where to go to see the pictures you posted...
Hi Anon!
Basically, the yarn I used is very thin, so in order to get the gauge I wanted, I held two strands yarn together and treated it as one strand, so it acted like a thicker yarn. (Does that make sense? Tell me if it doesn't!)
If you use a different yarn that gives you gauge, then you don't need to double.
Let me know if that doesn't answer your question!
That makes perfect sense. I'm not sure if the yarn i have is thick enough to do the pattern single strand or if i should do double...but I'll just make a decision and try it out. Thanks for your help!
The former knitting teacher in me screams SWATCH! SWATCH! SWATCH!
But sometimes it's more fun to fly by the seat of your pants.
Could this be made with 2 strands of Fisherman's Wool? Thought of using Size 10 knitting needles.
Awesome pattern! :)
I'm going to teach my hubby how to knit with it! lol, wish me luck :)
Thank you for this pattern - just what I need for my son-in-law's scarf. It's half done and knitting up beautifully. I really like the slipped stitch - solves the problem I usually have with raggedy edges. I used one strand since Florida winters don't warrant too heavy a scarf. Love it!
