Hello Everyone,

I have some beautiful balls of pure wool self-stripping sock yarn in my stash,

I decided to use some to knit a modular scarf.

Here is how to do.

You will need:

• 3.5mm (US: 4) knitting needles
• 100 gr self-stripping sock yarn
• 3.5mm (US: 4) crochet

Tips and tricks:

• Slip purlwise the first stitch of a row, instead of working it. This makes things easier, when you have to pick up stitches along the edges.
• Use a cast on which is not too tight (I use “Knit-on Cast-on” method whenever possible. Alternatively, I use the Backward loop Cast-on)

Please apologise for the poor quality of the pictures: I was travelling while knitting this, and had only a small camera at hand… this explains the various backgrounds (pics were taken in trains, armchairs, trunks…) and some unwanted esthetic issues…

 

Ready? Get set… Go !

 

Module 1: Cast on 41 sts.

Row 1 and 3 (WS): Knit

Row 2: K19, K3tog, K19

Row 4: K18, K3tog, K18

Row 5 and odd rows: K2, P to last 2 st, K2

Row 6: K17, K3tog, K17

Row 8: K16, K3tog, K16

Row 10: K15, K3tog, K15

Row 11: K14, K3tog, K14

Row 12: K13, K3tog, K13

Row 13: K12, K3tog, K12

Keep on working following the same pattern, decreasing every even rows, until there are 3 stitches left. K them together.

You just finished the first module of the modular scarf. There is 1 stitch left on your needle,

 

Module 2:

Right side facing you, pick 20 stitches knitwise, along the left edge. Cast on an additionnal 20 sitches (see pic). There are 41 stitches on your needle: work the module just the same way you worked the first one. Breaf off yarn after the last row.

 

 

Module 3: Cast on 20 stitches on a needle, and, right side facing you, pick up 21 stitches along the right edge of module 1 (see pic)

There are 41 stitches on your needle. Work them just as for the first and second module.

 

 

 

Module 4: Right side facing you, pick up 20 stitches along the left side of module 3, 1 stitch in the top of module 1, and 20 stitches on the left side of module 2. You have 41 stitches on your needle, work as module 1, bread of yarn.

Left Triangle: Right side facing you, pick up 21 sts down the left edge of Module 2. You will work a decrease on every even row.

Rows 1 and 3: Knit

Row 2 and even rows: K to last 3 stitches, K2 tog, K1

Row 5 and odd rows: K2, P to end last 2 sts, K2

Break of yarn.

 

 

 

Right Triangle: Right side facing you, pick up 21 sts along the left edge (from bottom to top) of Module 3. You will work a decrease on every even row.

Rows 1 and 3: Knit

Row 2 and even rows: K1, K2tog, K to end of row

Row 5 and odd rows: K2, P to end last 2 sts, K2

 

 

From here, you know everything you need to know to keep on going.

 

Work Module 5 the same way as you’ve worked Module 4, picking 20 stiches along the edge of Right Triangle 1, 1 stitch at the top of Module 3, and 20 stitches along the edge of Module 4.

Work Module 6 by picking up stiches along Module 4 and Left Triangle.

 

Work Module 7 picking up stitches between Modules 5 and 6,

Work a Left triangle along Module 6 and a Right Triangle along Module 5

Keep on adding modules and triangles until your run out of wool or, till you reach the desired lenght.

Once you’ve finished the knitting work: crochet a row of SC all around the scarf, with 3.5mm (US 4) hook.
