I used leftover scarf (purple/black) yarn mixed with a second color yarn (dusty rose, I think).
size 7mm needles.
Using Color A (main color):
Cast on 20 stitches
1: k across (last stitch knit to back)
2: slip 1; k across (last stitch knit to
back)
3: slip 1; *p2 k2* last stitch knit to back
4: slip 1; *k2 p2* last stitch knit to back
repeat 3 more times (for four sets). to row 16
[you can do the entire thing in just one color, or adjust when you add in the new color]
switch to color B (accent color) (bring other color yarn up along side as you go)
17-20: same as rows 1-4.
switch to color A (bring other color yarn up along side as you go)
21-24: same as rows 1-4
switch to color B (accent color) (bring other color yarn up along side as you go)
25-28: same as rows 1-4.
switch to color A (bring other color yarn up along side as you go)
Repeat rows 1-28 as many times as desired.
after a row 28 pattern, switch to color A. knit and bind off loosely.
Sew ends together to form a circle with no twist. Weave in ends.
If you have enough yarn (I didn’t), you can make this longer to leave as a scarf. My design would have included a set of 16 rows of the pattern using color B on both ends of the scarf. And then possibly fringe.
I'm wondering what stitch the "kp" on the fourth row is? I've been knitting for more years than I care to admit, I've never seen it. I did check several online knitting abbreviation lists and cannot locate it.
I notice the american spelling and size 7 needles, but it might be beneficial to give the metric sizing as well, just once at the beginning of a pattern, please? Weaving ends in
on the reverse of an item saves time, is neat and avoids the extra sewing, which is an excellent tip.
