~Vertigo~
Material:
basically two contrasting colors of yarn with the same weight; in this case I’ve used Evilla 100% wool in the color “Rainbow”, 6/2, 185 g and 5 ½ balls 50 g/125 meter each of Schoeller & Stahl Fortissima 6-fach Socka, sock yarn in natural white. There was no yardage on the Evilla yarn label. The sock yarn was slightly heavier yarn than the Evilla, but the closest I could get.
A pair of straight 3 ¾ mm needles(or whatever you are comfortable with)
Gauge is not important, since it’s a scarf.
Finished size: 10” x 112”
Slip – stitch pattern:
The first column of the charts tells you which color to use. The dark boxes are the main color (dark) and the white boxes are the light color. You’ll always knit with only one color for two rows (right side and back side). The other color will wait on the right side to be used later. Depending on the color you work with, you will knit the boxes in the color you are using and slip the stitches from the other color. On the right side you’ll slip the sts with the yarn in the back. On the wrong side you will slip the sts with the yarn in front of you.
This scarf is worked in garter stitch throughout.
With the main color (in this case the rainbow colored yarn) cast on 66 sts. Work 5 rows in garter stitch.
Next row: with light yarn K1, slip one stitch, knit to the second last stitch, slip one stitch, K last stitch.
Next row: K knitted stitches and slip the slipped stitches as they appear.
Now start with chart one. Knit chart one for 24 rows.
Start chart 2. Knit as long as you feel like you can stand it.
Don’t forget to mirror the end with the beginning and knit chart 1 for 24 rows again.
Knit 2 rows with the light colored yarn. Knit 5 rows with main color.
Bind off.
The edges are three sts in the beginning and the end. They are knit always in the same manner. The first sts of the three are like a checker board, dark, light, dark, light and so on. The second sts. are knit in the dark (main color), the third sts. is knit with the lighter color, after that the pattern from the charts begins.
