I really need help understanding with the short-end edgings.

I did the 1st row (right side) just fine and part of 2nd row (wrong side) K5, slip marker, P1. I don’t understand the ssk method for the rest of row 2.

You wrote “NOW ssk the last st together with the first stitch from the other needle. Drop the right-most loop of the ssk’d stitch but leave the left-most loop on the needle, and use it next time to help the corner lie flat.”

Is the “last stitch” the P1 I just did on the right needle, and is the “first stitch from the other needle” the stitch on the left needle? How do you go about ssk those? What do you mean by dropping the loops of a ssk’d stitch? I have never heard of such a method.

thanks I spun some silk that I dyed in Easter Egg dye and I used a light drop spindle. It is extremely light and fine. the green is mutted and varies just a bit. I get rave reviews. Your pattern was perfect for the small amount I had. thanks for sharing it.

Hello,
I just finished a scarf that I adapted from your pattern, but since I was using a slightly heavier yarn, I had to change the center panel a bit, but used the edging. Oddly it is blocking to 9.5″ by 57″. I just had the one skein of rayon yarn, and wanted to use it all. I have taken a photo and will try and send it tom. Thank you for the inspiration!

Hi Ginger,

That sounds like a good idea. I’d use a washable cotton, like that cheap dishcloth cotton they sell at every craft store, and a firm gauge. Let me know how it goes!

Hi Kara,

You might remember me from about a year ago when you so very kindly rewrote your pattern and made so many pictures that cleared up all of my questions and allowed me to finish my beautiful scarves (plus benefited so many others).

I am thinking about using your beautiful pattern for placemats. Have you ever done this? What kind of yarn would you suggest?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Ginger Hopp

Victor, thank you so much for the translation. I’m getting ready to spin up some baby alpaca roving and I think it will make a beautiful scarf!!! :)

I’ve been drooling over this scarf for quite some time, so I’m going to make it with Cascade Baby Alpaca Lace. Although southeastern Arizona doesn’t scream for scarves, I’m addicted to knitting lace…go figure. Your chart and directions are wonderful! Thank you for sharing.

Hello Kara,
I have just come across your beautiful scarf. I am looking for a scarf to knit for my modern, just turned 17 years old grand-daughter. This scarf is beautiful but I cannot quite understand the directions, maybe its because I live in Aussie and I am an Australian. Is there any chance of getting an easier versioned pattern of this scarf. I really want to knit it. I also love Marlene’s pattern.

Kind regards,
Shirley
