All the potential for a good football season got me excited about ISU, and I knit a scarf while I was sitting around and Scott was on campus working.
Now you see it…
…and now you don’tIt is an illusion knit scarf using the basic instructions found at Wikihow and the ISU Chart (pdf download) I created. I also added 3 stitches on each side that I knit in garter and slipped the first stitch in each row. After I did the letters once, I switched to wide stripes ( 4 chart rows wide) that can only be seen at the sharp angle. The yarn is Brown Sheep Lamb’s Pride Worsted from the Rose Tree Fiber Shop in Ames. One skein of each color made a scarf 8.5″ side by 61″ long without blocking. The garter stitch edging seems to curl under, so if I made it again I would probably omit that and just knit the chart as written, slipping the first stitch of each row. That would make it 7.5″ wide and quite a bit longer.
I’ve been looking around for an ISU knitting pattern! My hubby is a huge fan and I wanted to make him something. This is perfect, and it gives me a great excuse to try something new. I’ve never done illusion knitting before. Thanks for the pattern!
