Machine Knit Spiky Scarf

[@GadBoDag]

What a cool design! Thanks for breaking it down so simply. I would have never guessed this was as straightforward as it is!

[@suejalowiec8232]

Isn't it funny how we often make things harder than they are? Glad you like the design

[@KnititNOW]

Yes! You would use the "wrap and turn" method of partial knitting across the rows.

Amazing! I have a Bond Ultimate Sweater Machine that I’m relearning after over a decade of not machine knitting. I *think* I would be able to make this scarf on my (very basic) Bond. One day, I’ll try it.

[@KnititNOW]

Great! As long as you understand how to set your machine to hold and the concept of short rows (partial knitting) this will be a fun project for you to get back to machine knitting.

@@KnititNOW, thank you for your quick reply. I’m encouraged!

[@cherylhli]

Thank you so much for your video! This is just what I was looking for! Would it be possible to do a hand-knit tutorial for this scarf? Thank you!!

[@KnititNOW]

I'm sorry, writing hand knitting instructions is not in my zone of genius.

[@cherylhli]

@@KnititNOW That's okay! Thank you for your reply! Keep doing what you do and have a great day :)

Do you have a recommendation for a good machine? i have two circular knitting machines but no long bed ones and i love this concept

[@KnititNOW]

Hi Steve! A flat bed knitting machine will open a whole new creative world for you. There is quite a bit of information about machines in general here learnmachineknitting.com/ In addition to lots of used machines being available, I can recommend the Taitexma machines www.knititnow.com/path/1485/taitexma These are clones of the old Brother/ Knit King machine brand, made in Taiwan.

Do you have any idea what yardage this uses? I'd love to make one in a really wild hand-dyed yarn but can't picture how much I would need to make a good length scarf.

[@KnititNOW]

Here'a a link to the free pattern. bit.ly/2QbYKuX Included are some notes about yardage. Look for the link "Knit it Now notes for customizing the pattern"

@@KnititNOW thanks!

[@psnelli]

Is there a possibility to knit it by hand?

[@KnititNOW]

Yes, you would work the "spikes" the same way with short rows - "wrap and turn" in hand knitting language.

❤️❤️ super

[@Aleklolo]

is there a way to make this happen without the eyelets?

[@vonmorley1697]

You should be able to wrap the yarn around the needle to prevent holes or try raising a needle at the carriage side so it auto wraps the needle.

[@suejalowiec8232]

Yes, you can wrap while you are working the short rows to prevent the holes
