Mirjam,

I am doing the "Tuck in Scarves" for the mission on Rockford, IL.

I have several pairs of wools socks to make for winter.

I try to fish in the summer and have not picked up a book for a while.

Mirjam,

It is easier to send the scarf pattern. Every one that has one loves it.

I have made dozens of them, they are fast to make. I use knitting
worsted and us 7 needles. I use Coats and Clark Super Saver KW, it is
easy to purchase on sale here.

Tuck in Scarf

Cast on 3 stitches.

Row 1: Increase 1 st in the first st. K to end of row.

Repeat 1st row to 24 sts on needle.

K 19 rows in garter st.

To make slot: *K1, slip next st onto a stitch holder, keeping this
stitch at the back of the work. Repeat from * to end of row. Stitches
are divided, half on needle and half on stitch holder.

Working on stitches on needle, work 16 rows in k1, p1 ribbing. Break
yarn, and leave these sts on a spare needle.

Slip stitches from holder and work 16 rows in k1, p1 ribbing. Do not break
yarn.

Next row: (To close slot and increase stitches). *K tog 1 stitch from
needle and 1 stitch from spare needle. Knit next stitch from front
needle, then next stitch from back needle. (This increases 1 stitch.)

Repeat from * until there are 2 stitches left on each needle. (K tog one
stitch from each needle) twice. 17 stitches on needle.

K even in garter stitch until work measures about 12 inches from slot
closing. (I tend not to measure this, but to wrap it around my neck to
make sure that it is long enough when stretched slightly.)

Next row: *K1, K2tog Repeat from * to last two sts. K2. (12 sts)

Work 16 rows in K1, P1 ribbing.

Next row: Increase 1 st in each st across row.

K 19 rows garter stitch.

Next row: K1, K2tog, K to end of row.

Repeat this row to 3 stitches on needle. Cast off.

Best wishes

act" George Orwell.
