Knitting Pattern For Scarf/Beret/Vest/Shawl
Materials Needed:
- Medium thickness yarn (the example uses Himalaya export surplus, which is a bright yarn)
- Knitting needles size 4 (for the pattern demonstrated)
Pattern Instructions:
Setup:
- Begin with a ribbing or elastic edge. (A video link for this is mentioned to be available in the comments section of the original video.)
- Cast on a multiple of 10 stitches + 6 extra stitches. (For example, for a width you could start with 40 stitches, then add 6 for a total of 46.)
Pattern Steps:
- Row 1 (Right Side): Slip the first edge stitch purlwise without knitting. Knit all stitches.
- Row 2 (Wrong Side): Slip the first edge stitch purlwise without knitting. Purl all stitches.
First Pattern Repeat:
Row 3: Slip the edge stitch as before. Follow the next steps for the pattern across:
- Work on 4 stitches as follows: Swap the two outer stitches by knitting the first through the back loop and then the second normally. Knit these stitches.
- Knit 6 stitches normally.
- Repeat the first step on the next 4 stitches.
Row 4: Slip the edge stitch. Purl all stitches to the end.
Second Pattern Repeat:
Row 5: Repeat as in Row 3 but invert the swapping: this time, bring the middle stitches to the outside and the outer stitches inwards.
Row 6: As Row 4, slip the edge stitch and purl all stitches to the end.
Continuing the Pattern:
After setting up the pattern with these 6 rows, you repeat these steps, shifting the swaps in each pattern repeat to create the textured design described in the video. The pattern described seems to create a diamond-like structure with a clean appearance at the back, suitable for various knitting projects.
Final Notes:
- The pattern repeats every 6 rows.
- Edge stitches are slipped purlwise to create neat edges.
- The space between diamond structures can be adjusted based on how you like the design to continue.
Projects Suggestions:
- The pattern is versatile for scarves, berets, vests, or shawls.
- It’s suitable for both children’s and adults’ knitwear.
