INSTRUCTIONS

(Written for old rose and black.)

This pretty scarf in old rose is knitted in the plain stitch with black and white border.

Begin with old rose and cast on 50 stitches. Knit plain forward and back. Two rows make 1 rib. Knit 17 ribs.

Start Border: Make 1 rib in white, 8 ribs in black, 1 rib in white, 8 ribs in old rose, 1 rib in white, 8 ribs in black and 1 rib in white. Break off the yarn each time color is changed. 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 old rose, then make border on other end of scarf to correspond.

Fringe in old rose. Cut up 1 skein of the yarn in ends, 14 inches in length. Take 4 yarn ends together, double them and put the loops through a coarse needle. Put the needle from underneath through a stitch in 1st row on end of scarf; remove the needle, pull the yarn ends through the loops and tighten. Repeat this in every other stitch on both ends of scarf. Cut fringe even 5½ inches deep.
