Hi friends! Ever since the Stay-at-home order was placed, most of the crafts and art supply stores in my area have been closed. So this month I am gonna challenge myself and limit the amount of yarn I use to what I already have.
This week, I've decided to make a scarf out of one skein only. My first step was to choose the shape, then decide on the pattern. In the end I think I am very satisfied with the final product. When I was deciding on a suitable name for this piece, I found out that "Seaweed" was a shade of green, and the scarf really looks like seaweed, so I went with that name.
Cast on 7 sts, knit 6 rows, (k row and p row) twice.
Increasing Rows, and the Lateral Braid:
Row 1:m 1, *ktbl of second st on left-hand needle, do not slide sts off needle, knit first st. Now slide both stitches off needle.Then, slip the last worked stitch from the right needle back to the left needle. Repeat from * to last st. (8 sts)
Row 2: p to end.
Row 3: k to end.
Row 4: p to end.
Repeat (1 - 4) rows eighteen times. (25 sts)
Then work as follows:
Row 5: repeat row 1.
Row 6: p to end.
Repeat (5 - 6) rows seventeen times. (42 sts)
Decreasing Rows:
Row 7: repeat row 1.
Row 8: p3tog, p to end.
Repeat (7-8) rows seventeen times. (25 sts)
Then work as follows:
Row 9: repeat row 1.

Important notice: This written pattern has been reviewed and updated on December 7th, 2020. Two new sizes (small and medium) have also been added.
This Jacket was designed and made for a dear friend of mine. She is tall and full-figured, so sometimes it's hard for her to find a jacket of suitable size, in a model and color that she likes. So she and I sat down, took measurements and designed one ourselves. I hope she likes it when she gets to wear it, since the corona-virus situation made it difficult for us to get in touch. Stay home, stay safe and healthy, and happy Easter to you all!
