And my second scarf.....
I made this scarf using US needle size 9 and a mixed color worsted yarn.
A nice long and tubular scarf!
Pattern
First Row:
Knit, purl, knit, purl... first four stitches(Seed stitches),
Knit the next 20 stitches (Stockinette Stitch)
Purl, knit, purl, knit... last four stitches(Seed stitches),
Second Row:
Knit, purl, knit, purl... first four stitches(Seed stitches),
Purl the next 20 stitches (Stockinette Stitch)
Purl, knit, purl, knit... last four stitches(Seed stitches),
Repeat the rows till desired length.
Simply, edges in alternating knit and purl(just 4 stitches)
and rest in alternating rows of knit and purl.
PS:Stockinette stitch curls and this scarf looks like a tube. Don't bother, it looks pretty though!
Its said that, seed stitch would prevent the curling of Stockinette, but that applies only for a small table cloth or washcloth, as you would see in my next post.

- Rest of the Rows in seed stitch for the first four stitches(Knit, Purl, Knit, Purl) and last four(Purl, Knit, Purl, Knit) and stockinette stitch in the middle for the remaining rows(33 rows)
- And finally four more rows in seed stitch.i.e, repeat step 2.
