Mistake Rib Scarf



I haven't written a pattern in a little while, but I was messing around as usual and came up with something that I really liked so thought I'd jot it down for you so if any of you wanted to give it a go, you could!



Mistake Rib Scarf

Size 10mm (US Size 13) needles
100g DK - Dark Blue

100g DK - Blue

This pattern uses both yarns at the same time.  I used complimentary colours, but you could use colours that clash to make make something bright and different.


Cast on 31 stitches
Row 1: (P2, K2) until last 3 stitches.  P2, K1


Repeat this row until the scarf is the required length, then cast off.

A Year In Blankets

After a very successful day knitting and crocheting at Thorpe Hall Hospice (Sue Ryder), I have decided to crotchet more blankets for next year. They managed to get 34 blankets done this year which was 8 less than last so I am determined to make sure we get more for next year.

Blankets must be either 4 foot by 4 foot for covering legs whilst sitting or 6 foot by 4 foot for beds. I have already started making a blanket and my aim is to have done at least 4 blankets for next year. I will try to remember to update this blog at least once a month to how I am progressing!
