Holey Moley Handspun Scarf

I used a small skein of 50% Alpaca / 50% Corriedale, approx. 100 yards and 1 1/2 or 2 ounces.

Cast on 21 stitches on a US 9 / 5.5 mm needle with the long-tail cast-on.

Pattern row:  

Knit one stitch, *Knit 2 together, Yarn Over*, repeat between * * until there are 2 stitches left, Knit 2 stitches.

Repeat this through the entire scarf until your yarn end is six times as long as the width of your knitting, and bind off with an even tension (halfway tight - and treat the Yarn Overs as a stitch when binding off).

Weave in ends in the Cast On and Bind Off edge for an invisible finish, wash gently in conditioner or wool wash, and block - either by pinning it out, or just laying it out in the dimensions you want it to be.

When dry, snip off the woven-in ends, put around neck and enoy!

Feel free to print and pass around, or even sell items made with this "pattern", as long as the pattern keeps this note in the bottom.
