[b]Cast on a multiple of 3 sts (plus one on each edge for a selvage).
The pattern repeat is just K2, P1 - on both sides…[/b]
I’m unsure as to whether I’m supposed to begin and end each row with a knit stitch, doing the pattern repeat between…or do I simply begin each row with “K2, P1”. :??
It sounds like you just K2 P1 no matter what you’re doing. Although the mention of a selvedge makes me think that maybe you’re supposed to slip your first stitch. Ingrid will probably be along soon to clarify.
Don’t count any selvedge stitch in your pattern count. I would slip the first stitch as if to purl and knit the last stitch on every row for a scarf. Your pattern stitches fall between these.
Ingrid’s predictability is NOT a bad thing … she’s always got the answer. I just did one of these scarves and did exactly what Ingrid said. It worked great.
