Glad you like the pattern. :) Unfortunately, due to the fact that it's designed with a middle point, I'm not sure it's the best pattern for a flat scarf.Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-21834589159114439202019-12-31T09:06:22.828-08:002019-12-31T09:06:22.828-08:00I'm wanting to knit a straight scarf--not a co...I'm wanting to knit a straight scarf--not a cowl--using two colors and wondering if this pattern will work.

You shouldn't be slipping any stitches more than two rows - the same stitches are slipped on rows 3 & 4, but then you switch which stitches you're slipping and working on row 5, so all of the slipped stitches from row 4 should be knit on row 5. Perhaps you missed the fact that they were staggered?Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-77962753576900408492017-02-10T09:05:10.990-08:002017-02-10T09:05:10.990-08:00Thanks Gretchen, I am still confused I'm afrai...Thanks Gretchen, I am still confused I'm afraid! The marked slipped stitches arent being knitted into the fabric of the scarf so I definitely have done something wrong- it's like I've got this loose stitch at the bottome of my work- I've done two repeats of the first 10 rows so it's only going to get harder to slip once I have done the forty. That's why I feel I've done something wrong. All it will do at the moment is gather up that part of the scarf when I knit it back in - almost like the band round an umbrella to hold it together if that makes sense!

And secondly (and please correct me if I'm wrong), it sounds like you're worried that the extra stitch markers should be doing something, pattern-wise. Luckily, that's not true - they don't do anything to the pattern, they're simply there so I don't have to give you obnoxious directions like (sl1, k1) 50 times or whatever - basically, they just mark a place, but do nothing else. So it sounds like you're treating them correctly! Anyway, let me know if this isn't your question or if you're confused. :)Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-83732745297431688182017-02-10T03:20:42.273-08:002017-02-10T03:20:42.273-08:00Hi Gretchen, many thanks for this gorgeous pattern...Hi Gretchen, many thanks for this gorgeous pattern, and lots of others I see on your blog too! I'm not an experienced knitter and this is the first pattern using circular needles that I've followed. All good so far though, but have one query over the slip stitches on the additional markers. I'm just slipping over the original marked stitch each time so it's not being incorporated into my work. As I've worked through the repeat at the beginning, I can't work out how this stitch will be worked back into the scarf- only thing I can imagine, is that it provides some sort of gather but don't want to carry on until I know. (I may have to unravel work anyway, as my circular needle is coiled and I think has twisted my work, so may need to relax it in hot water and start again anyway!) Thanks for any help you can provide. xx<br />Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01370172491292622131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-38111890321435849232016-09-30T09:06:35.533-07:002016-09-30T09:06:35.533-07:00Hi Tessa!

Let me know if you have any other questions! :)Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-62720648819018216922016-09-30T08:17:36.057-07:002016-09-30T08:17:36.057-07:00I'm thinking about making this in all one colo...I'm thinking about making this in all one color first, in some yummy baby alpaca yarn I have (I have 200 yards).
