Chevron Stripe Scarf - FREE Knitting Pattern

I designed this scarf many months ago - actually it was probably 2013 when I did! I designed it by accident when I was experimenting with chevron stripes for a section of my book. I can't believe it has taken me all this time to get around to sharing it though, but sometimes that happens. Designs get put aside while something else takes over.

Materials
3 x 50g Libby Summers Chunky in Yarn A
3 x 50g Libby Summers Chunky in Yarn B
Pair 8mm [US11] needles

Tension
18 rows and 14 sts to 10cm [4in] before blocking

Finished measurements
The Scarf measures approximately 16cm [6.25in] wide and 200cm [79in] long before blocking.

To block this scarf I gave it a wash in cold water and left it to dry flat.

Instructions
Cast on 23 sts. Work in pattern as follows:

*Row 1 (RS): Using Yarn A, knit.
Row 2: Using Yarn A, k1, skpo, k8, M1, k1, M1, k8, k2tog, k1.

Repeat the last two rows once more.
Repeat rows 1 - 2 twice using Yarn B.** Weave the different colours up the side at the beginning of the right side rows as you work so you don't have to cut and rejoin yarn. 
Repeat from * to ** until work measures approximately 200cm [79in] long ending with Row 4 of Yarn A. Cast off on right side knitwise.

Variations
Alternate stripes of Yarn A with stripes of three different contrast colours. For this you will need two 50g balls of each contrast colour as well as three balls of Yarn A.
