I wasted no time in getting my new skein of Madelinetosh DK onto the needles. I went for a simple infinity scarf to show off the gorgeous colors.
Pattern: my own; I think I cast-on 170 stitches, joined to knit in the round, knit 5 rows of seed stitch, about 4 or 5 inches of stockinette stitch, then 5 more rows of seed stitch.
Yarn: MadelineTosh DK in Oxblood; about 2/3 of a skein.
Needles: US 8s I think. I wanted a loose gauge and a drapey fabric.
Notes: I thought with knitting at such a loose gauge and a good blocking that I wouldn't have to worry about rolling but apparently I was wrong. The edges still want to roll! Maybe I'll try a light iron or just not worry about it.
I love this scarf so much! It is so soft and the colors are amazing!
Amazing colour. You're right - plain old stockinette shows off the yarn beautifully.
ReplyDeletei love madtosh colors! your scarf looks great.
ReplyDeleteYou did a fabulous job on this. Great pattern (of your own design) to go with a luscious yarn.
ReplyDeletegorgeous! I just love how useful these infinity scarves are - I say just leave the little row and enjoy it:)
ReplyDeleteIt looks so lovely! I don't think you should worry about the rolling - it works just fine as is.
ReplyDeleteI think its excellent even with rolling!
