A Scarf and a Coat

I spent several months over the winter creating a scarf to match my “coat of many colours”. It was a challenging pattern and I completed 4 rows each day in order to get it completed – and it was hundreds of rows. I am including the pattern if you want to give it a try.

k-tbl: knit through back loop
p-tbl: purl though back loop
s1: slip 1 purlwise
sl 1 wyif: with yarn in front, slip 1 purlwise
yo: yarn over
k2tog: knit 2 together
SSK: slip 1 stitch knit wise, return stitch to left-hand needle, knit 2 together through
back loops.
