Instructions
The Scarf:
With yarn A, Cast on 64 sts (long tail method is preferred).
Knit two rows, then work the first pattern:
Row 1: K2, *yo, slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 2 stitches and pass slipped stitch over them*, repeat from * to last 2 stitches, knit them.
Row 2 and every even row: purl.
Row 3: K3, *yo, slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 2 stitches and pass slipped stitch over them*, repeat from * to last 4 stitches, knit them.
Row 5: K4, *yo, slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 2 stitches and pass slipped stitch over them*, repeat from * to last 3 stitches, knit them.
Row 6: purl.
These six rows are the first pattern. Repeat until scarf measures approx. 8 “(21 cm) from beginning, ending with sixth row of the first pattern.
Work second pattern:
Row 1: K2, *yo, slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 2 stitches and pass slipped stitch over them*, repeat from *, change to yarn B, knit last 2 stitches.
Row 2 and every even row: purl the stitches with the same yarn color as previous row.
Row 3: K3, *yo, slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 2 stitches and pass slipped stitch over them*, repeat from * to last 4 stitches, change to yarn B, yo, ssk, K2 stitches.
Row 5: K4, *yo, slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 2 stitches and pass slipped stitch over them*, repeat from * to last 6 stitches, change to yarn B, ** yo, ssk**, repeat twice from **, K2 stitches.
Row 6: purl the stitches with the same yarn color as previous row.
Repeat these six rows, BUT, by adding two stitches knitted with yarn B, which means to add once more **yo, ssk**, and subtracting 2 stitches from yarn A in each knit row, until finishing the row that is purled entirely with yarn B, until the entire row worked with yarn color B.
Work third pattern beginning with yarn B:
Row 1: K2, **yo, ssk** repeat from ** 30 times, change to yarn A, knit last 2 stitches.
Row 2 and every even row: purl the stitches with the same yarn color as previous row.
Row 3: K2, **yo, ssk** repeat from ** 29 times, change to yarn A, knit last 4 stitches.
Row 5: K2, **yo, ssk** repeat from ** 28 times, change to yarn A, K1, yo, slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 2 stitches and pass slipped stitch over them, knit last 2 stitches.
Row 7: K2, **yo, ssk** repeat from ** 27 times, change to yarn A, K1, yo, slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 2 stitches and pass slipped stitch over them, knit last 4 stitches.
Row 9: K2, **yo, ssk** repeat from ** 26 times, change to yarn A, K1, *yo, slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 2 stitches and pass slipped stitch over them*, repeat from * twice, knit last 3 stitches.
Row 11: K2, **yo, ssk** repeat from ** 25 times, change to yarn A, K1, *yo, slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 2 stitches and pass slipped stitch over them*, repeat from * 3 times, knit last 2 stitches.
Keep on decreasing two stitches from yarn color B on every right side, adding them to stitches worked with first pattern and yarn color A, until the entire row worked with yarn color A.
Repeat the patterns alternating as many times as you like, I have worked five alternating colors as a whole.
The last time you have a total yarn color A, and first pattern row, work another 8” (21 cm) with ending with 1st row of the first pattern, knit 2 rows and cast off.
Block and weave in loose threads. Make 11 thread fringes from yarn B at each end of the scarf, each fringe made from 8 pieces of thread each 45 cm long (ending 16 in number and about 22 cm long after trimming).
The Hat:
With yarn color A and circular needles, cast on (long tail method preferable) 120 stitches. Work (Knit 1, purl 1) row and join to other end, taking care not to twist the work. Put a mark on the beginning of the row and work 9 more rows with the same pattern. Then work the decreasing row as follow:
*(Knit 1 m1, purl 1, knit, 1, purl 1), repeat from * to the end of row. (150 stitches)
Work as follow (don’t forget to mark the beginning of each row):
Round 1: {with yarn color A, work *yo, slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 2 stitches and pass slipped stitch over them*, repeat 15 times, (45 stitches), join yarn B, work **yo, ssk** repeat from ** 15 time (30 stitches)}. Repeat between {} once more, (150 stitches in total).
Notes:
- You must use separate skeins each time you change to another yarn.
- Make sure that you cross the threads of two colors each time you change the yarn.
Round 2: turn work to wrong side, purl to the end of the row using the same yarns as the previous right side row.
Round 3: turn work right side, slip 2 stitches from the right side needle to the left one (the last two stitches of the last row), {with yarn A, work *yo, slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit 2 stitches and pass slipped stitch over them*, repeat 15 times, (45 stitches), join yarn color B, work **yo, ssk** repeat from ** 15 time (30 stitches)}. Repeat between {} once more, (150 stitches in total).
Round 4: turn work to wrong side, purl to the end of the row using the same yarns as the previous right side row.
This means the colors and patterns will shift two stitches to the right each alternate row. Repeat rows 3 and 4, until the hat measures approx. 8” (20.5 cm), or longer if you want to make a slouch hat, with right side work, start decreasing pattern as follows:
Round 1: slip 4 stitches from the right side needle to the left one (the last 4 stitches of the previous row), {with yarn color A, work *yo, slip 2 stitch knitwise, k2tog, and pass slipped stitches over them*, repeat until last 4 stitches of yarn A, change to yarn color B, yo, sssk, ** yo, ssk**, repeat from ** until the last 4 stitches of yarn B}. Repeat between {} once more, (142 stitches in total).
Round 2: turn work to wrong side, purl to the end of the row using the same yarns as the previous right side row.
Repeat these two rows 8 more times, (78 stitches left). Then work the last row as follows:
(With color A yarn, sssk, to the last stitch, with color B yarn, ssk to last stitch), repeat between () one more time, cut last thread 10 inches long and pass it through remaining stitches, pull it tight and knot it securely, cut the other yarn threads and knot them together and weave end in.
Make a large pom-pom from color B, and thread it at the top of the hat.
