The Sweet Ladder Scarf

Here's a free pattern that I developed specifically for Araucania's 'Ruca', their new yarn made from 100% sugar cane.


Materials: one hank (263 yds) Araucania 'Ruca' (colorway shown in picture is Color #1)

Size 6 needles


Finished Dimensions: approx. 4" by 72"


Gauge is not critical, about 7.75 st/inch in pattern.


Directions: Cast on 31 stitches loosely.


Row 1: slip 1, knit 1, knit 2 tog, knit 3, *yo twice, knit 3, knit 3 tog, knit 3, repeat from * once, knit 3, yo twice, knit 3, ssk, knit 2.


Row 2: slip 1, purl 6, knit 1, (purl 8, knit 1) twice, purl 6.


Repeat these two rows until desired length, bind off knitwise, loosely.


Please use this pattern for your own personal use, but do not copy it without permission.

When I tried to knit this scarf - the first row is for 35 stitches vs 31 - did I miss something

It must be very comfortable to use...

You need 35 stitches for first row instead of 31 and then you have too many stitiches for second purl row which only needs 31 again...please review pattern. I just bought this yarn and want to try a scarf pattern. THankyou
