FREE SCARF PATTERN!

Duress Scarf
Designed by ME

Materials:
Lots of heavy worsted yarn -- I used about 13 oz. Wal-Mart brand generic Red Heart (how's that for a wild concept: GENERIC RED HEART.)

16" circ needle in size to get gauge -- I used #11 and I am a tight knitter.

Gauge:
3 stitches = 1" in stockinette stitch -- row gauge is not terribly relevant.

To make:
Cast 56 stitches on to circ needle and join, marking beg of round in whatever method you prefer. K14, P1, K27, P1, K13. Repeat around and around and around until you reach desired length or knit clear through The Lord of the Rings: the Two Towers four nights in a row, again, as you prefer. Cast off LOOSELY. Turn your nice, long tube inside out and admire how your purls lines have become knit faux seams that make your reverse stockinette scarf lay pretty and flat and double thick warm. Seal up ends in whatever manner tickles you. I’m using fringe.
