Knit X-Shaped Drop Stitch Skinny Scarf with Lily Sugar ‘N Cream Faded Denim yarn

Hi, yesterday I started knitting 3 skinny scarves with the Lily Sugar ‘N Cream yarn. When I saw my 3 unfinished knit scarves this morning I got mad and said “I’m finishing one before starting a new one, I don’t want unfinished scarves laying around anymore.”

 I picked the faded denim-color X shaped drop stitch skinny scarf. In 2 hours, I finished it!

Before knitting 7 more X- Drop stitches and casting off, it looked like this:

I picked the X shape with garter stitch because I like how the Drop stitch is in 2 colors white and blue.

Pattern for Knit X-Shaped Drop Stitch Skinny Scarf with Lily Sugar ‘N Cream Faded Denim yarn

from A Long Thin Knit Scarf Blog at http://1knitscarf.wordpress.com/

Using Lily Sugar ‘N Cream yarn in “Faded Denim” color, cast on 8 stitches with size 6.5 mm needles.

Rows 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8: knit

Row 9: begin X-shaped Drop Stitch like this: knit 1, knit 1, yarn over 4 times, knit 1, yarn over 4 times, knit 1, yarn over 4 times, knit 1, yarn over 4 times, knit 1, yarn over 4 times, knit 1, yarn over 4 times, knit last stitch

Row 10: knit 1, here’s what’s different from a vertical drop stitch: instead of knitting the next stitch and dropping the yarn over, you slip the next stitch purlwise and drop the yarn overs.

So: slip stitch, drop 4 yarn overs, slip stitch, drop 4 yarn overs, slip stitch, drop 4 yarn overs, slip stitch, drop 4 yarn overs, slip stitch, drop 4 yarn overs, slip stitch, drop 4 yarn overs, knit last stitch

With your left hand needle slip last 3 stitches over the 1st 3 stitches, then pass them to the left hand needle. Finally knit them.

You just knit 8 rows, do the X shaped drop stitch, and repeat for as long as you want it. I repeated it 25 times.

Now I’m ready to start a new scarf.

Take care,
