This pattern is very simple with just a four row repeat, but creates a very dramatic effect. \u00a0It also works well for any weight yarn or even doubling yarn for a quick and thick throw. \u00a0The horizontal and diagonal lines make it look like a boardwalk, such as Coney Island. The pattern is actually rippled throughout, but it is only really visible on the lower and upper edges.<\/p>\n

This is not designed as a reversible pattern, but the back side is attractive enough that a single column of the pattern makes an excellent scarf. \u00a0Two or three repeats can make a table runner or shawl.<\/p>\n

Cast on a multiple of 24 stitches. \u00a0The directions for each row should be repeated across the row.<\/p>\n

Row 1 (WS): <\/strong>K3, (k1, p1) three times, k6, (p1, k1) three times, k3<\/p>\n

Row 2: <\/strong>K3, km1, (p1, k1) twice, p1, k2tog, k4, ssk, (p1, k1) twice, p1, km1, k3<\/p>\n

Row 3:<\/strong> K3, (p1, k1) three times, k6, (k1, p1) three times, k3<\/p>\n

Row 4:<\/strong> K3, pm1, (k1, p1) twice, k1, k2tog, k4, ssk, (k1, p1) twice, k1, pm1, k3<\/p>\n

Row 5: <\/strong>P3, (k1, p1) three times, p6, (p1, k1) three times, p3<\/p>\n

Repeat rows 2-5 to desired length. Then do rows 2 through 4 and 1 (cast off on this row).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
