Planning
1. **Design Strategy**: Creating a beginner-friendly rectangular scarf inspired by Petite Knit's aesthetic - clean, modern, and simple. Using worsted weight yarn with garter stitch for easiest execution and lovely texture that lies flat. The design will be elegant in its simplicity.
2. **Construction Plan**: Straight rectangular construction using waste yarn cast-on for clean edges, knitting lengthwise for fewer joins. Single bed knitting with garter stitch (knit every row) to avoid curling and create a reversible fabric perfect for scarves.
3. **Quality Assurance**: Garter stitch eliminates edge curling issues common with stockinette. Even tension throughout will be crucial - will specify consistent carriage speed and proper weight distribution. Cast-on and bind-off methods chosen for matching stretch and appearance.
4. **Final Calculations**: 8" width × 19 sts/4" gauge = 38 stitches cast on. 60" length ÷ 7 rows/inch = approximately 420 rows total. 300g worsted weight yarn provides adequate yardage with buffer for gauge variations.

# SOPHIE SCARF A beautifully simple rectangular scarf perfect for beginning machine knitters. Worked in garter stitch for a lovely textured fabric that lies flat and is completely reversible. ## MATERIALS - **Yarn**: 300g worsted weight yarn (approximately 600 yards) - **Machine**: Standard gauge knitting machine (4.5mm needle spacing) - **Needles**: 38 needles in working position - **Tools**: Cast-on comb, weights, transfer tool, latch hook, ravel cord - **Tension**: T6 for main knitting - **Additional**: Waste yarn for cast-on ## GAUGE 19 stitches and 28 rows = 10cm (4") in garter stitch on T6 *Always knit a swatch to confirm your gauge* ## FINISHED SIZE Width: 20cm (8") Length: 152cm (60") ## ABBREVIATIONS - **RC**: Row Counter - **COL**: Carriage on Left - **COR**: Carriage on Right - **T**: Tension setting - **WY**: Waste yarn - **MY**: Main yarn ## PATTERN ### Setup 1. Thread carriage with WY and set tension to T10 2. Bring needles 19L to 19R into working position (38 needles total) 3. Cast on using ravel cord method with cast-on comb 4. Knit 6-8 rows of WY at T10 5. Change to MY and reduce tension to T6 6. Set row counter to 000 ### Main Body (Garter Stitch) Garter stitch on machine requires alternating knit and slip passes: **Row 1 (RC 001)**: COL - Knit all needles across to COR **Row 2 (RC 002)**: COR - Set carriage to slip all needles, pass across to COL (creates the purl row effect) **Row 3 (RC 003)**: COL - Return carriage to knit setting, knit all needles to COR **Row 4 (RC 004)**: COR - Set carriage to slip, pass to COL *Continue alternating knit and slip rows as established* **Checkpoints:** - RC 100: Check width measures approximately 38cm (15") - RC 200: Check width measures approximately 76cm (30") - RC 300: Check width measures approximately 114cm (45") Continue pattern until RC 420 or desired length of 152cm (60"). ### Finishing Cast-Off 1. At RC 420 (or desired length), with COL, knit one final row to COR 2. Change to WY at T8 3. Knit 6-8 rows of WY 4. Release from machine using ravel cord ## FINISHING 1. **Remove Waste Yarn**: Carefully remove waste yarn from both ends using latch hook to secure live stitches 2. **Steam Block**: Lay flat and steam lightly, allowing the garter stitch texture to relax naturally 3. **Measurements**: Final piece should measure 20cm × 152cm (8" × 60") 4. **Weave in Ends**: Secure any yarn tails invisibly into the garter stitch texture *Your Sophie Scarf is now complete! The reversible garter stitch fabric creates a beautiful drape perfect for any occasion.* **Pattern Notes**: - Maintain consistent carriage speed for even stitches - Use adequate weight to prevent stitches from dropping - The slip setting creates the garter stitch effect by alternating knit and purl rows
