Almost two years ago (!) I knit up a scarf for my picky significant other. I posted about it on the blog and mentioned I would write up the pattern details.

Well, a bit of time passed and I forgot to post the pattern! I received a little poke the other day from a knitter inquiring - "did I ever write up this pattern?"

I did not! It totally slipped my mind.

And, since the original scarf I knitted was from 2 years ago, it has seen better days :)

So I decided to knit up a quick swatch to show you the stitch pattern detail.

Sample swatch was knit up in Swans Island Organic Merino Bulky in logwood.

The Manly Scarf pattern

Materials:

US 9 needles

~430 yards of worsted weight wool (Malabrigo Merino Worsted used in top photo above - Tortuga colorway)

Gauge (before blocking):

10 sts = 2" in pattern stitch

Finished Measurements (before blocking):

7" wide; 80" long

Pattern:

Cast on 34 sts.

Row 1: K2, *P2, K2; rep from * to end.

Row 2: P2, *K2, P2; rep from * to end.

Row 3: P2, *K2, P2; rep from * to end.

Row 4: K2, *P2, K2; rep from * to end.  

Work in established 4 row pattern until scarf measures 80" from cast on edge.

Bind off loosely in pattern.

Weave in ends. Block if desired.

I hope you enjoy the pattern! Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions!
