Rowan's Kidsilk Haze Free Lace Scarf Pattern

I always get weak when I look at Rowan's Kidsilk Haze yarn. It is probably one of the best yarns and it has been around for quite a while! When it first came out I wasn't so excited and wondered what one would do with such thin thread. But since then many many yards have slipped through my fingers and I am quite sure many knitters have at least one ball in their stash. And that is exactly what you will need to make this one skein wonder! I called it "Marmalade" because my first version was made out of the color "Marmalade" and this is a very suitable name for such a yummy scarf! 
Wouldn't it make a great project for a gift? Who could resist.

Materials:

230 yards of lace weight yarn. Used here: Rowan Kidsilk Haze col. 596 (25g/229y): 1 ball, tapestry needle to weave in ends, scissors.

Knitting needles size US 7(4.5 mm). A needle with a very pointy tip is highly recommended for this project (e.g. Skacel Addi Lace needle)

Gauge: 17sts/26 rows = 4”/4” worked in Stockinette Stitch (= knit on RS, purl on WS). The gauge is not critical for this project.

Measurements: 10 ½“/52” 

Pattern:    

*  means repeat from *

purlwise means to insert needle from right to left into stitch as you would for a purl stitch

Cast on 42 sts (or if you want a different width cast on any multiple of 6 for example: 24/30/36/42...sts)

Row 1: slip first stitch purlwise with yarn in front, k2tog, yo, *k4, k2tog, yo rep from *to last 3 sts: k3.

Repeat Row 1 until have about 2 yards of yarn left to bind off.

! Bind off in this way to ensure a looser bind off edge:

knit 2 stitches, * then insert left hand needle into front of both just knitted stitches and knit them together, k1 then repeat from * to end of row.

Finishing:

Weave in ends. No blocking required.

ENJOY!!
