Knitted Scarves

Martha has shared a knitted scarf pattern.  These should knit up quickly and make great Christmas gifts...

Drop Stitch Scarf

Cast on 8 stitches.

Knit 6 rows (3 ridges).

Next Row - Knit 1, *wrap yarn around needle twice, knit 1; repeat from * across.

Next Row - Knit, dropping extra wraps from previous row.

Knit 3 rows.

Repeat the last 5 rows until about 2 yards [2 m] of yarn remain, ending after knitting 3 rows. Knit 2 more rows. Bind off.

I have made this one using 10 and 14 needles and 2 different weight yarns. I also added stitches to make it a little wider. Use any size needles, yarn, and number of stitches that you want. It come out really cute and knits up very fast.

I've rotated the picture a few times and it keeps coming out sideways.  Sorry, but I think you can tell what it looks like...

Here's the other scarf she wanted to share.
