Rosemary and Thyme Scarf

Image
This scarf was inspired by the wonderful smell of herbs in the summer (in spite of the fact that I can't seem to keep thyme alive).  It is worked with a seed stitch border at the bottom and on the sides to prevent rolling, which will be listed as "ss" in the pattern.  Stitch markers are highly encouraged This can be done with any yarn/needle combination.  For my scarf, I used a DK weight mohair blend with size 8 needles. Cast on 31 stitches. Work 4 rows of seeds stitch border as follows: Border row 1:  K1, [p1,k1] to end Border row 2:  slip stitch as if to knit, [p1, k1] to end Border row 3:  slip stitch as if to knit, [p1, k1] to end   On the last row , work 3 stitches as established, place marker (pm), work 5, pm, work 15, pm, work 5, pm, work remaining stitches NOTE: The number of stitches in the center panel will vary slightly as you work.  No need to panic, unless perhaps it has doubled in size--then feel free to panic slightly. ...
