Here’s a pattern that I designed for a model in my store. It’s made with Berroco’s new Comfort yarn, which is entirely synthetic, but very soft and silky. It is an adaptation of the Irish Hiking Scarf, which I had wanted to knit, but was too wide for my gauge. Without further ado:

I’m a fairly new knitter and do not recognize the symbol you use above “ke”. What does that stand for?

Well, this was a quickly thrown together pattern and it does have some errors. The ke should be k2.
Also, I neglected to add that after the final repeat of the pattern, you should knit rows 1-5.
I think that was it, but if you catch anymore errors, please let me know.
Thanks!
