One of the most popular samples in our store is the simple, sideways-knit Koigu scarf that hangs on the Great Wall of Koigu. At least once a day, someone asks how many skeins, or how we did the fringe, or is it really just garter stitch?
At last, Leah has written up the pattern to share! The original, pictured, was created by Mary Hughes.
Easy Koigu Fringed Scarf
This faux-woven scarf is worked the long way and the optional fringe is created as you knit. If you want a simpler scarf with no fringe, just knit every row.
Finished measurements: 58″ x 4″
Materials:
2 skeins Koigu KPPPM or 350 yards of a similar fingering weight yarn
US size 5 36″ or longer circular needles
Gauge: 4 sts = 1 inch in garter st
14 rows = 1 inch in garter st
Cast on 240 sts loosely.
Knit one row. (If you wish to create the self-fringing ends, do the following: At the end of each row,
cut the working yarn leaving a 4″ tail. Re-tie the working yarn to this tail as close to your stitches as
you can, leaving another 4″ tail of the yarn dangling. You have created two strands of fringe that can
be trimmed later).
Repeat this row until desired width is achieved. The pictured scarf was worked for 62 rows.
Bind off loosely.
Enjoy!
