I love this scarf! Bamboo yarn makes it soft and feminine!

Ravelry lists this yarn as a bulky weight yarn, so I tried it with that, since bernat bamboo is discontinued and it does not give the chain effect very well and there was no drape to it. So, I did it again in cotton worsted weight and it gave a decent drape and a lovely chain effect.

The instructions are a bit confusing. However it would be a quick scarf to knit. Good for the cold weather.

As a beginning knitter I do not understand Row 2. It says *P1. Sl1P. then repeat from *. Row 3 is clearer: K1. *Sl1. K1 = which I believe means knit 1, slip 1, then knit the next st, then repeat from the *. Does row 2 mean purl 1 st, slip 1 st as a purl, or, slip 1 st then purl the next st? I might just be overthinking this, have just never seen it written as Sl1P. Thank you.

I think your instinct is right. It means slip the stitch as if to purl. The period after Sl1P. is the clue, as there is the same period after Sl1K. Good luck, it is an elegant looking scarf.

this is a common technique for writing patterns in knitting. when there is * and it says to repeat from *-you ALWAYS repeat. Row 2 is P1 (purl1) SL1P (is slip 1 purl wise) you continue in this until the last stitch-the slip stitches are what will give the "ladder" effect to the scarf.

171 stitches cast on? it is not that wide in the picture as I see.

The scarf is being made lengthwise, not width wise.

The pattern instructions never say what Row 7 is.

The instructions should probably have said work rows 4 THRU 7 in stockinette stitch. That gives you 4 rows of stock. stitch. Hope this helps. I love this stitch pattern; I'm going to try it in a hat:)

Rows 4-7 are stocking stitch so, Row 4 is knit, row 5 is purl, row 6 is knit, row 7 is purl.
