Green Grass of Spring Shawl//Design

This is my very first pattern that I made, and I decided (due to a few demands) that I would make it available on my blog - if you do a wee search on Ravelry you'll find it also. So here's the pattern:

Yarn - RYC Cotton Jeans in Jute or any other 4-ply yarn (you could knit this in a sports weight)

Needle - 6.5mm circulars and straights

1. Cast on 1 stitch on straight needles, knit 1.

2. Increase 1 at beginning of row, purl to last stitch, increase 1. This

    will be your basic pattern.

3. Every odd row will be a knit row, and every even row will be a purl row.

4. On row 11 (knit row), knit 5, *sl1 k1 *carry on in this way to last 5 stitches, k5

5. Purl row 12 and carry on

5. Every 10 rows - 11, 21, 31 etc follow the instruction 4.

 When my scarf started to get a little big, I swapped to circular needles and carried on. You can make this as big or small as you want - just get a good size to wrap around your neck.

Cast off loosely and enjoy your new scarf.
Thanks so much for taking a look at my new pattern, I hope you have enjoyed it - if you have any questions feel free to contact me as knittingv on Ravelry or email me vicki.yelland-browning@hotmail.co.uk
