Swiss Cheese Scarf

I've had a few inquiries in regards to the Swiss Cheese Scarf over the last few weeks and figured maybe others in blogland may be interested in making one for themselves. This is mindless knitting to the nth degree, but the results are beautiful (if I may say so) and a staple to anyone's wardrobe.



The general idea is simple: Knit a few rows, bind of a few stitches, cast on the sts that you bound off the previous row, and knit some more. Rinse and Repeat.



Pattern: Swiss Cheese Scarf, my own.

Materials: Sz 3 needles, about 800-1000 yds of laceweight yarn

Gauge: not important, but my scarf is about 10-12" wide after blocking.

Recipe as follows:



CO 110 sts



Rows 1-6: Knit

Row 7: K5 (BO10, K8) 5 times, BO 10, K5

Row 8: K5 (CO10, K8) 5 times, CO 10, K5

Rows 9-14: Knit

Row 15: BO6, K8, (BO10, K8) 5 times, K6

Row 16: BO6, K8, (CO10, K8) 5 times, CO6

Row 17: Knit to end, CO6



Repeat Rows 2-17 until desired length, then BO all sts.

All rights reserved by me. Please use this pattern for your own enjoyment ONLY. Not for resale or distribution unless authorized by me.



I wanted an airy feel to this scarf, and just happened to have a bunch of laceweight yarn sitting in my stash. The same idea can be applied to any weight yarn, but you'd have to cast on fewer number of sts and play with the CO/BO number.

Edit: I've received a number of emails due to the holes not lining up properly. Apologies for those who have experienced frustration with this pattern, and special thanks to my readers for spotting the error. Thanks!

Enjoy!
