(10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS) When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles. Making a Gauge Swatch STITCH EXPLANATION: kfb (knit into front and back) Knit next st without removing it from left needle, then k through back of same st –1 st increased. yo (yarn over) An increase that also creates a small decorative hole (eyelet) in the fabric, worked as follows: 1. Bring yarn to front, between the needles. 2. Take yarn to back, over the right needle. This creates the new st. You are now ready to proceed with the next st as instructed. NOTES: 1. Hooded Scarf is worked in one piece beginning at one end of Scarf, then increasing sts to shape the Hood, then decreasing to shape the opposite end of Scarf. 2. Scarf is worked in Garter st (k every row), Hood is worked in St st (k on RS, p on WS) with a Garter st edge. 3. Ends of Scarf are tapered. 4. Piece is folded and seamed together to create the Hood.
