Seed Stitch Basketweave Combo Infinity Scarf

 This is the Seed Stitch/Basketweave Scarf that I was working on. I really had no idea what I was doing with the yarn I had. Am I happy with it, it's aright I suppose. I liked how the Basketweave Stitch looks on this.  I hope these pics does the scarf some justice.


Materials:

(1) Balls Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick in Portland Wine

3 types of White Yarn , 1 Skein each. Note: You won't use up as much of the yarn as you think.

(1) Skein of Beloved Treasure Yarn. I used Horizon but you can choose other colors.
1 Size 15 10.00mm 29" or longer circular knitting needles. I prefer using Clover Takumi Bamboo Circular Knitting needles. Use coupons to purchase these guys cause they can be a little pricey, but worth it.

Pattern:
With Portland Wine and Horizon held together, cast on 85 stitches.
Row 1: K1, P1, K1.... until end of row is reached.
Row 2: P1,K1,P1....until end of row is reached.
Continue until you have your desired number of rows.
Cut Portland Wine and tie it to the three yarns in the color White.
At the beginning of the row you're going to knit, the Basketweave Stitch will mimic what your last knitted row looks like.
 i.e.
If you ended up with a P1,K1,P1 stitch for your last row before you had the yarn, your new row in White and Horizon held together looks like this:

P1,K1,P1...until end of the row
White:
Row:
P1,K1,P1...repeat until end of row.
K1,P1,K1....repeat until end of row.
K1,P1,K1
P1,K1,P1,
P1,K1,P1
K1,P1,K1
K1,P1,K1

Continue until you reach your desired number of rows.
The last  four rows will end in the Seed Stitch.
Make 2 rows using the Seed Stitch pattern in Portland Wine and then join that yarn with the White yarn before you start the third row. Continue with White for the last two rows knitted in the Seed Stitch.

Bind off and weave in ends.
