Toasty Twisty (free pattern!)

What'cha Knittin'?
1

Hey everybody–
I just designed this quick scarf and am posting the pattern here in case you want to make them for Christmas gifts. This is really, really warm. I did not use any yarn I want to name here :oops: to make up the pattern, but suffice it to say that if you use a nice worsted weight, soft yarn it will be nice. Good for kids and adults, male and female. It’s cabley but also reversible, with no ugly side! The ends flare nicely as the pattern draws up the fabric somewhat in the body of the scarf.

TOASTY TWISTY

Materials: 6-8 ounces worsted weight yarn (depending on length you want)
Size 10 knitting needles
Gauge: Not crucial

Note: Slip first stitch of every row as if to purl.

Stitch Explanation: RT (right twist). Knit next 2 stitches together, but do not slip off left needle. Knit into first stitch again, then slip both stitches off the needle.

Cast on 34 stitches.

Rows 1-4: Knit (see note above)

Row 5: Slip 1, K 1. (P2, K2) 8 times.

Row 6: Slip 1, K1. (RT, P2) 7 times. RT, K2.

Row 7: Slip 1, K1. (P2, RT) 7 times. P2, K2.

Row 8: Slip 1, K1. (K2, P2) 7 times. K4.

Kelly, I did post it over there.
Hopefully it will find its way to Knitting pattern central (HINT HINT) too so can be famous like you! :smiley:

(grumbling because the 9 designs I sold to Lion Brand are STILL not published)

Here’s a closeup of the stitch detail, which you can’t see well in the photo above. Both sides look identical.

Did you make up that twist yourself or didya get it from a stich book? That is TOO cool! You rawk! :thumbsup:

No, the right (and left) twists exist. You could find them in stitch books. Sometimes called mock cable or baby cable.
It’s a good “cable” to use if the thought of a cable needle turns you off.
However, I’ve never seen this stitch used in this way to make the fabric reversible. :figureditout:
