Scarf Knit On The Bias?
Hi the
I joined an advanced knitting group which meets on a Tuesday evening. We all work on a project of our choice, I picked an afghan from Patons "Textured Afghans" book. It's not complicated but very time consuming and interesting as every row is different. One of the strips has "anchors" on it which fits into the decor of our home office, and will look great draped over my rocking chair smile. Anyway, as part of the class the instructor gives us some helpful hints. This week she brought in a scarf she had knit on the bias. Therefore, the scarf drapes very nicely and it lays with the points at the bottom unlike the other scarves I've made that are straight across on the bottom. I'm not as experienced a knitter as some of you and wondered if anyone has done this. I thought it was a great idea and wanted to share. It's a very easy "2 row" sort of pattern and I could share it with you. Donna from Ontario, Canada |

Cast on as usual, then start decreasing on one side and increasing on
the other side, every other row. See what happens. On Sat, 9 Oct 2004 09:53:26 -0400, "Brian D" wrote: Hi the I joined an advanced knitting group which meets on a Tuesday evening.

Appart from all the interesting things you told, I must say I LOVE (!!!!) that you have a rocking chair in your OFFICE! And your afghan sounds very nice and special! Am I wrong when I guess it is the "Anchors Awaigh" afghan? http://www.patonsyarns.com/patternbo...b266aafc71e4d0 Then to the scarf. I have never done any bias knitted scarf, but as you say, they may drape nicely. (Here is some I found at the Net, and if they are not quite what we should like to knit, they may be used as a "starting point for making an own pattern: This use special yarns; http://www.straw.com/cpy/patterns/sq...zz-circus.html this is may be a bit too simple http://www.straw.com/cpy/patterns/wa...ias_scarf.html This has a pattern over two rows, a Lion Brand; http://tinyurl.com/4mlro ) AUD ;-)) |

Hi the Yes, that is it. I've never seen this done before, could be I haven't knitted too many scarves in my day grin. I'm not much of a scarf wearer but I think my 3 yr old will love this one.
