Catch the Wave


I am very excited that I can knit again. I started this scarf one day at the beach last summer but never had time to finish it. Now that I got a break from college for three months I can put my knitting needles back in my hands.

Here is the Catch the Wave pattern (enjoy):

using worsted weight or heavy worsted weight
I used lana bambu (1 skein).
no need to gauge, its a scarf...after all!

needle size can range from 8-11 (I used 9)
cable holder (or I used place marker; If you like me use a place marker, put 2 live sts on hold front then knit two from needle then slide live sts back on left needle.


abbreviation used:
CF = put 2 stitches in front, knit two from left needle then knit two from cable holder

CO 20
knit 4 rows
set up row: k6,p1,k4,p1,k6
row 1 and all odd rows will be: k3,p4,k1,p4,k1,p4,k3
row 2: k3, CF, p1, k4, p1, k4, k3
row 3: odd
row 4: k3, CF, p1, CF, p1, k4, k3
row 5: odd
row 6: k3, k4, p1, CF, p1, CF, k3
row 7: odd
row 8: k3, k4, p1, k4, p1, CF, k3
row 9: odd
row10: k3, k4, p1, k4, p1, k4, k3
row11: odd
row12: k3, k4, p1, k4, p1, k4, k3
row13: odd
repeat row 2 to row 13 until length desired
finshing on a row 12.
then knit 4 rows again and bind off.
Enjoy the short wave...I am currently working on a wider wave scarf that will have CO 29 and set up row of: k5, k4, p1, k4, p1, k4, p1, k4, k5.
