Basketweave Scarf

[RunningMommy]

I finally finishes a basketweave scarf for my BIL's birthday. I used Lion Suede. Found a really pretty variegated color called "vineyard". The picture really doesn't do it justice because my lighting is terrible in my apartment but hopefully you can see the stitches

Looks very snuggly! And the colors look like a cozy fireplace fire!

It looks beautiful and I have the same yarn and was wondering what to make with it - now I have a great idea

 

Is it a free pattern?

[RunningMommy]

I used a simple basketweave pattern for this...

 

Here's how

 

Chain 19

 

ROW 1: Dc in 4th ch from hook and each ch across; turn - 17 sts

 

ROW 2 & 3: Ch 2, skip first st; fpdc in next 3 sts; bpdc in next 3 sts; fpdc in next 3 sts; bpdc in next 3 sts; fpdc in next 3 sts; hdc in top of beg ch; turn

 

ROW 4 & 5: Ch 2, skip first st, bpdc in next 3 sts; fpdc in next 3 sts; bpdc in next 3 sts; fpdc in next 3 sts; bpdc in next 3 sts; hdc in top of beg ch; turn

 

Just repest rows 2-5 until you have the length you desire

 

Its really simple once you get a hang of the pattern

Your scarf looks like it would be perfect for a man. Good choice of colors and stitch. Lion Suede is such a wonderful yarn to work with and to touch, I know he will like it very much.

Beautiful! I've been wanting to try the basket weave stitch, but have found it a little intimidating.
