YO Pull-Through Scarf (to knit)

Yay! It's done! I just finished my second pattern. I can't figure out how to upload a link to the PDF yet so you'll just have to copy and paste the info if you want it right now.

I'm uploading all of this via my iPad so I'm not sure where the pictures will show up when it's all done. Here goes nothing...

For this project I used:

Approximately 3 ounces (1/2 skein) of Lion Brand Homespun yarn (in Wildfire)
Size 13US (9mm) aluminum needles
Size I/9-5.50mm crochet hook (optional)*
Darning needle

CO 32sts
Row 1: K1, (YO, K2tog) to last stitch, K1
Row 2: K2, (YO, K2tog) to last 2 sts, K2

Repeat rows 1 and 2 until you reach the desired length, weave in any loose ends.

*Here is the optional part: I folded the scarf over about six inches from the bottom and used the crochet hook to slip stitch the end to the body of the scarf, creating an open-sided pocket, if you can picture that. Then I continued knitting the scarf to the desired length.

Another way to do it is to finish the scarf and sew one end after it's finished. In hind sight, this second option is probably the easier of the two but I was anxious to see what it looked like.

The stitches make the scarf pretty stretchy so you don't really have to knit very much to make it wearable. I also noticed that when I threaded the scarf through the hole and centered it on my neck, it looked a bit like a tie that a businessman would wear.

Try it out and let me know what you think!
