SEAFOAM SCARF & WRAP

We were inspired by Barbara Walker’s Seafoam pattern from A Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns to
knit both a lightweight scarf and a generous wrap, perfect to swing over your shoulders with
a summer frock or tee. A cotton/rayon blend gives it a lovely sheen and drape.

Finished Size: Scarf: Approx. 5 x 58" (13 x 147cm).

Wrap: Approx. 16 x 72" (41 x 183cm).
Instructions given for scarf; wrap in parentheses ( ).

Yarn: 1 (4) skein(s) Berroco Modern Cotton (209 yds/191m each); or approx. 209 yds/191m
(836 yds/764m) of an equivalent worsted-weight cotton-blend yarn.

Needles & US 7 (4.5mm) needles, or size to obtain gauge.

Notions: Blunt darning needle to finish.

Gauge: Approx. 19 sts = 4"/10cm in pattern stitch, blocked.

Glossary: K = knit; YO = yarn over (bring yarn forward between needles, then back over right needle);
for multiple YOs, keep winding the yarn around right-hand needle the required number of
times ending with yarn in back ready to knit.

Cast-on: Using long-tail cast-on method, cast on 26 (86) stitches. Note: Pattern stitch is a multiple
of 10, plus 6.
Edging: Knit three rows

Seafoam stitch: Row 1 (cast-on tail is to the left): K6, *YO, K1, YO twice, K1, YO three times, K1, YO twice,
K1, YO, K6*; repeat between * * to end. Note: you may want to clip a pin or locking marker into
first stitch in this row to mark the beginning of your ‘business’ rows.
Row 2: Knit, dropping YOs off needle as you come to them. Note: After this row, tug gently on
the work to fully extend the dropped stitches and ‘set’ the fabric.
Rows 3 & 4: Knit.
Row 5 (cast-on tail is to the left): K1, *YO, K1, YO twice, K1, YO three times, K1, YO twice,
K1, YO, K6*; repeat between ** to last 5 stitches; YO, K1, YO twice, K1, YO three times, K1,
YO twice, K1, YO, K1.
Row 6: Repeat Row 2.
Rows 7 & 8: Knit.
Repeat Rows 1–8 until desired length or you have just enough yarn left to work second
edging and bind off (approx. 5 (10) yards/m). End having just worked a Row 1 or Row 5.

Second edging: Knit three rows.

Bind off: Bind off all stitches, matching tension of cast-on end as closely as possible.

Finishing: Weave in ends (there’s no ‘wrong side’; hide your ends carefully and trim after first few
wearings).

Blocking: Roll in a damp towel and let sit for a few hours. Remove from towel and lay flat to dry, pulling
lengthwise to open up dropped strands.
