Sport Scarf
(from
Handbook of Wool Knitting and Crochet, 1918)
(Explanation of
terms and stitches used)
A very attractive scarf uses brown Shetland as a
body color, with deep cream-color, green and rose in
combination with the brown for stripes. Using No.
3½ or No. 4 bone needles, cast on 84 stitches and knit back
and forth for 64 rows or 32 ribs; then join in the cream-color
and knit (4 rows of cream, 2 rows of brown) 5 times, 10
rows of cream, (2 of brown, 4 of cream) 5 times; 64 rows of
brown; join in green, (4 rows of green, 2 of brown) 3 times;
10 rows of green; (2 of brown, 4 of green) 3 times; 64 rows of
brown; (4 of rose, 2 of brown) 3 times; 10 of rose; (2 of
brown, 4 of rose) 3 times; * 64 rows of brown. Reverse
from *, making the other end of scarf as directed for
first half.
For the fringe, cut strands of brown six inches long, and
knot a strand in each stitch.
For a lighter scarf use No. 4 bone needles and cast on
48 or 50 stitches. The larger needles with loose knitting
will give work much more open. If desired one may introduce
rows of fancy knitting instead of the colored stripes.
In fact, having made one scarf, the worker will find it possible
to vary it in many ways, and will find such variation a
pleasing study.
Many like to use a thread of silk or mercerized crochet-cotton
with the Shetland floss or other wool which may be
chosen.
