Love your work and your scarf. I just finished a double knit scarf with a horse, and it definitely i ...
Its the Double Jacquard Autumn Dance by Svetlana Gordon. Fair warning though, this wasnt easy, and Ive been knitting for almost 60 years. The design has 240 rows, with 82 stitches per row (which is actually 162 with the doubling). Youre supposed to do 240 pattern rows, then 80 rows of "plain" double knitting (no pattern, just opposite colors on each side), then another 240 pattern rows in reverse. I didnt like the plain middle section, so I did the pattern 3 times. I averaged 4 rows an hour, if I didnt have to tink, and I had to tink a lot, LOL. Its just too easy to get mixed up whether youre doing an odd or even row, and whether the chart is referring to knit (odd rows) or purl (even rows, in reverse because its not in the round) stitches.
Well, you know all this already if you just did a double knit scarf, but if you do knit this, you have my sympathies, LOL.
