Not a Celebrity Scarf

The yarn from the last blog is the yarn I am using to make this scarf. I was given a copy of the pattern, and was not sure where it came from. After doing some research it looks like it was a free pattern from the Skacel yarn company, but was unable to find it on their website: www.skacelknitting.com . I was able to find the pattern on another blog though: http://crazyforewe.blogspot.com/2006/09/not-celebrity-scarf.html.

This is an awesome pattern! It is very easy-every stitch is knitted, and it requires basically no counting. However, it is more interesting than a plain jane garter stich scarf.

It uses short rows, which can be confusing at first, but just do EXACTLY what the directions say. When it says turn, do just that. Turn the needles around as if you were going to look at the opposite side of the work. (there is no right side/wrong side, but if you were working on right side, turn the work around as if you were about to knit the wrong side). Then knit back across the stitches you just knit.
