I wove the ends in on the Chevron Scarf this evening after not knitting all weekend. I needed a weekend to read fiction, and I can’t read and knit simultaneously. So I read two 300+ page novels and didn’t knit. But now it’s time to knit again, and so I’ll clear the decks and get this FO post done. The Chevron Scarf blocked out better than I had hoped.
\n<\/a>
\nYarns: Fleece Artist Merino sock yarn in Burgundy and Woodland (I have over 75 g left of each 115 g skein!!) Striped socks?
\nNeedles: US size 4 Clover bamboo
\nBlocked dimensions: 6.5 x 44 inches (I wanted a short scarf)<\/p>\n

\nTruer colors in this photo.<\/em><\/p>\n

Stitch pattern: 1 stitch at each edge in garter, which folded under very nicely, leaving a clean edge, then between these garter edge stitches, 3 repeats of 15 stitches (cast on 47 st):<\/p>\n

Row 1 (RS): *K2tog, K5, YO, K1, YO, K5, Sl1, K1, psso*<\/p>\n

Row 2: Purl<\/p>\n

Repeat these 2 rows for pattern.<\/p>\n

I used a cable cast-on and used a size 6 needle for binding off. There are two rows of stockinette after the cast-on before starting the pattern and two rows before binding off, both in the burgundy yarn. Easy peasy and nice and pointy.<\/p>\n

The scarf was just glad to finally get to meet the coat of its dreams, my “black coffee” brown, wide-wale corduroy peacoat:

\nFinally, doll face, we’re together! The perfect harmony of chevron merino and black coffee corduroy.–Chevron Scarf.
\nWho are you?–Coffee Peacoat.
\nI’m your destiny. We are meant to be together for all time.–CS
\nWell, I hope you don’t think this is an exclusive deal. I happen to know there’s going to be a lot more scarf knitting going on at chez Molecular Knitting. And if you think I’m going to stick only with you when I know there’s a red sportweight alpaca<\/strong> scarf on the horizon, you need your head examined.–CP
\nYou wound me, angel! I don’t match any of her other jackets or coats! I need you to be true.–CS
\nIf I had a dime for every two-bit merino scarf that sang that sad song, I’d have a diamond stick pin in my lapel.–CP<\/em><\/p>\n

Perhaps it’s best if we leave this sad little scene. I’ll try to find something else that I can also wear with the chevron scarf. I had no idea my peacoat was such heartless coat about town! It must get very bored with just me to wear her.<\/p>\n

Well, I’m off to work on the pink cabled-rib sock. Time’s running out on my self-imposed deadline.<\/p>\n

Happy knitting, everyone!<\/p>\n
