Here are the patterns for the scarf and hat that were discussed in yesterday's article.
These are super easy patterns and use precious yarn in gorgeous colors. That's a Win/Win in my book.
I hope you have fun with these,
Lois

Scarf
--------------------------
Materials:
#9 circular needles
Yarn: Norwegian #4 wool, about 1.5 oz. each of 3 colors.
Finished size: 7" x 48"
Gauge: 14 st = 4", 24 rows = 4"
Pattern note: Scarf is worked lengthwise. It is a basket weave pattern. The "weaves" change (purl to knit, knit to purl) on the same row as color changes.
First color:
Cast on 195 stitches.
Row 1: K5, P5
Row 2: P5, K5
Repeat rows 1 and 2 of first color ending with row 2 until you run out of the first color yarn.
Second (middle) color:
Join second color at end of row and reverse the knit/purl pattern:
Row 1: P5, K5
Row 2: K5, P5
Repeat rows 1 and 2 of second color ending with row 2 until you run out of the second color yarn.
Third (last) color:
Join third color at end of row and reverse the knit/purl pattern:
Row 1: K5, P5
Row 2: P5, K5
Repeat rows 1 and 2 of third color ending with row 2 until you nearly run out of the third color yarn making sure you have enough to bind off the last row.
Bind off in pattern.

Cut yarn 18 " from work, thread into yarn needle and pull thread through remaining st. Pull tight and make a few stitches to hold in place.
Using all the colors of remaining yarn from hat and scarf, make a pom pom and sew in place.
