Hello Everyone,
Hope everyone had a great holiday (US peeps)
Been a long time since I’ve been to the forum, but have a few questions for you. I found a great pattern for a scarf, but I wanted to knit it in the round and sort of make it a hood/faux moebius without the criss cross.
It’s knit lengthwise and it’s a multiple of 8+5 so that’s not a problem as I will make it shorter in length. It would be too long as the scarf now measures 60".
So my question is that if I were to join in the round there are k2 for the rs and ws rows at the beg and end of each repeat. I am assuming that it’s part of the foundation. So I would not need to add that into my new round. Also, any purl rounds and purl sts, I would just knit. I hope that made some sense.
Thanks
The k2 sts would probably be for the edges which you wouldn’t have in the round. You may be able to drop off both sets, so your pattern may be a multiple of 8+1. And if the WS rows are purled you knit them, however if it’s a mix of purls and knits you may have to reverse their order too. Do you have a link to the original pattern? That would help.
Thanks Suzeeq! It does make sense and yes I do believe it would be an 8+1.
It’s a purchased pattern so I can’t link the directions. I purl on all the rs rows. 1, 3, 7, 9, etc. It’s a 12 row lace repeat with no p sts on any of the even rows.
Here’s a link of the scarf so you can see what the finished product looks like.

I think that I may cast on a few repeats and see if the pattern goes well if I would delete the four sts in the foundation.
Thanks!
