INSTRUCTIONS

(Written for black, white and yellow.)

This black scarf is knitted in the plain stitch with white and yellow border.

Wind the yarn into 2 balls, and knit with 2 threads of the yarn.

Start with black, and cast on 55 stitches. Knit plain forward and back. 2 rows make 1 rib. Knit 20 ribs.

Start border: Make 1 rib in white, 8 ribs in yellow, 1 rib in white, 9 ribs in black, 1 rib in white, 8 ribs in yellow and 1 rib in white.

Break off the yarn each time changing, tie the yarn ends together close to the stitch and knit 1st stitch on the next row. Fasten the yarn ends afterwards.

Knit for the length of 36 inches in black, then make border on other end of scarf to correspond.

Fringe in black: Cut up 1 skein of the yarn into ends, 14 inches in length. Take 6 yarn ends together, double them and put the loops through a coarse needle. Put the needle down through a stitch in 1st row on end of scarf. Remove the needle, pull the yarn ends all at once through the loops and tighten. Repeat this in every other stitch on both ends of scarf. Cut fringe even, 5½ inches deep.
