Kelso Infinity Scarf / Cowl

Kelso Scarf

These are made using 2 strands of DK (8ply) yarn knitted together.

The stitch (Cane Stitch) looks the same on both sides.

I like learning new stitches but the fact that there is a 3row repeat meant that I found it difficult to know where I was for the first few pattern repeats. I am more used to a ‘right’ side and a ‘wrong’ side. However, I soon got into the stitch! It gives a lovely open fabric which is perfect for this design.

Kelso Scarf / Cowl

Requirements:

DK yarn 2 x 65 -70g

6mm needles

Measurements:

Width: 7” (18cm)

Length: 52” (132cm)- easily adjustable

Instructions:

For a Woman - Cast on 25sts

1^st Row: S1, k1, *s1, k2tog, psso, yrn twice, repeat from * to last 2sts, k2

2^nd Row: S1, k1, *p1, k1 (into the double yrn from previous row), p1, repeat from * last 2sts, k2

3^rd Row: S1, knit to end

Repeat these three pattern rows until around 52”, ending after completing a 3^rd row

Cast off

Darn away ends

For an infinity scarf / cowl ~ join together the cast on and cast off edges

≪ Previous: KELSO Scarf or Cowl

'Old Shale' is a traditional Shetland lace knitting pattern ~ it was probably originally called 'Old Shell'.

It gives a pretty, light, lacy effect - no wonder it is used so much used for baby garments.

Many knitters know this as 'feather & fan' - however this is incorrect.

You might enjoy reading this explanation of these two traditional stitch patterns ~
