If I ever run out of yarn, the world will end. No, seriously.

Okay, so. I finished two craft projects, gave one of them away before I took a picture, and then promptly started another. Pic spam!

Scarf pattern. I suck at patterns and make them up as I go, so. Also, I'm translating this as I write. Please don't throw things at me.

- basic pattern: 1knit 1purl, 1knit 1purl.
(- What do you call the stitches at the beginning and the end of each row? Because you obviously need those and I don't know the English word.)
- return row: same pattern in reverse, ie, 1knit goes on 1knit from the previous row, 1purl goes on 1purl.

- squares pattern for 61stitches (my scarf): 8 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 8.
- 8normal, 5knit, 5normal, 5knit and so on. You end with 5knit and 8normal. (The bold 5s are the 5knit. Inbetween is the normal pattern.)
- In the return row it's 8normal, 5purl, 5normal, 5purl. You end with 5purl and 8normal.
- Do that for five rows (Or until the squares are actually square).
- Then five rows in the normal pattern.
- Repeat as often as you want. I always did three sets of squares and then went back to normal for about six inches.

To measure the length, fold the scarf in half. It should reach from your fingertips to your opposite shoulder, then you can comfortably wrap it around twice. Or just play around until it fits.

EDIT: And then you obviously sew it shut when you're done.

Did that make any sort of sense? At all?

Oh god, I suck so badly at this.

Also, pictures. If you follow the Projects make me not bored tag, you should get to all my artsy fartsy stuff I have pictures off.

Do you have Skype?

I do. Somewhere. Chat?

No no, this is a good pattern, far easier to read then some of the things I've found, where you just stare at the pattern and wonder if it's actually written in Klingon or some bastardized form of a dead language no ones heard of in ten thousand years.

I have some fantastic red yarn given to me by a friend for scarves, so I'll make her one in this pattern and she'll love me forever. :D

And then. I'LL POST PICTURES OF IT. 8D

You don't know it yet, but you've created a monster. :3

Happy to help. I get lonely in me special-freak corner over here.

YAY, PICTURES!

Oh, hey, here's some actually useful information: I used a 7 needle for the scarf. So unless the yarn you have is ginormous, you'll probably need to add stitches.

I told you, I fail at patterns. I might not write in weird code, but I leave out everything helpful.
