Bugg's friends find my knitting fascinating. They are often anxious to learn, but finding time for them to sit down and actually put yarn to needle is another story. On occasion one of them will ask me to knit them a pair of socks - heh, heh...we ALL know the answer to this one!
In compromise, these scarves will be quick little gifts for the teen friends this year and they can knit up in one evening!
Yarn: Berroco Foliage; 100 yds (or about 100 yards of any bulky yarn)
Needles: US 11
Button: 1 1/2" to 2"
Cast on 18 or 20 stitches work in K1, P1 rib for 5"
On next row work to 2 stitches before middle and ssk, knit next two stitches together, finish row by working in established pattern. (For example; if you cast on 18 stitches you will ssk stitches 8 and 9 and knit stitches 10 and 11 together)
On next row work to gap created by the ssk and k2tog in the previous row and cast on two stitches then proceed to work in established rib pattern
Work maintaining rib until you nearly run out of yarn (or until the scarf is your desired length) and cast off in rib.
Sew button to opposite side of scarf approx. 8" from the bottom.
Note: Buttons this large can be difficult to find (or costly). Try hunting around at your LYS if the craft store buttons are not on sale.
