How many stitches did you add? The round should begin with the MC P1, then there should be one half way through the round.These act as fake seams on either edge once the scarf is laid flat. If you want to add another set of the houndstooth pattern, it will be in a multiple of 4 and is only the part in parentheses. I hope this makes sense.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03332278131711922494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660171689438919661.post-29574049954508659462014-10-10T11:08:21.033-05:002014-10-10T11:08:21.033-05:00Chriswick,

Yes, you attach the black yarn on row 3.

I had to add more stitches for the right size so just repeating the pattern 3 times instead of 2x on each row. The only problem I am having is at the end of each of the sequence it is not adding up correctly. Am I doing this right? Row 3 for example - MCP1, repeat the K2, CC K1,MC K1 7X then do I end with the MC P1? I have 3 stitches left?

It says start with MC- Creme- and then on row 3- shows the CC color-black starts. So do you start with both strands of yarn, creme and black? Not sure how to attach on row 3. I am beginner and any suggestions would help. Thanks again, I would love to try and make this.Chriswickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03321902966433863431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660171689438919661.post-19486247920312260362012-12-07T12:07:26.423-06:002012-12-07T12:07:26.423-06:00Yes, orange sugar, it is knit on circular needles....Yes, orange sugar, it is knit on circular needles. Knitting "in the round," as opposed to flat knitting, refers to using circular or double pointed needles. It's called that, I think, because you're not knitting back and forth and making a flat piece, but in circles (really, a spiral.) I chose to design the scarf this way so that there would be no wrong side where the color changes from the yarn showed. <br />Hope this helps!Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03332278131711922494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660171689438919661.post-74112994160043174092012-12-07T10:02:53.656-06:002012-12-07T10:02:53.656-06:00I'm somewhat new to knitting, can someone expl...I'm somewhat new to knitting, can someone explain how this is knit in the round when it is a flat scarf?

J...Your gauge is probably just different than mine. Just continue the houndstooth pattern until the scarf measures 1/2 the length you want minus ~6" (for half the ribbing). For a 6' scarf this would be 30". For me, this was 30 sets of the pattern repeat on each side. For you it sounds like it might be 40 or so. Do whatever works for you; nothing here is set in stone.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03332278131711922494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660171689438919661.post-80033898774934126342010-01-31T18:38:27.414-06:002010-01-31T18:38:27.414-06:00I am in the process of knitting your houndstooth s...I am in the process of knitting your houndstooth scarf.

And I'd love to see pictures when you're finished!<br /> I actually got criticism on Ravelry from some people for using such inexpensive (or "cheap" to use their word) yarn instead of actual wool or something pricier. Wool scarves hurt my neck and, well, a nice soft yarn is, to me, a nice soft yarn no matter what the fiber content or the label or the price. I just don't understand yarn snobs. <br /><br />Happy Knitting,<br />~eveCherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03332278131711922494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660171689438919661.post-65839568004869241192009-04-21T22:06:00.000-05:002009-04-21T22:06:00.000-05:00I want to experiment with swatches of 2 different ...I want to experiment with swatches of 2 different colors at a time, Then I'll pick which is best...And I agree about I love that yarn from hobby Lobby, nice and soft...Thank you for sharing your pattern ; . )Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10682476422962720909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660171689438919661.post-34092264748409076412008-10-18T10:41:00.000-05:002008-10-18T10:41:00.000-05:00Thank you both so much for your kind words!
