Belgian Waffle Neckwarmer

Materials: 1/2 skein of Swoon Silk/Merino

Needles US 8, or as desired

Cast on 18 sts

Set Up Row: *k1, yo, slip1*

Row 1: k1, *slip the yo, k2* end slip the yo, k1

Row 2: *yo, slip 1, yotog*

Row 3: k2 slip the yo*

Row 4: *yotog, yo, slip1*

 

Repeat rows 1-4 for 18". Bind off loosely, knitting together the YO of the previous row with the nearest knit stitch and binding them off together.

Finish by either crab stitching, crocheting a slip stitch, or picking up and immediately binding off along both "raw" side edges if you feel like your edges are not "smoooth" enough.

Notes: sometimes the YO looks like it is before a knit stitch because of the way it angles on the needle, so if the row you're on says to k2, be sure you knit 2 stitches, DO NOT knit a yo...all yo's are either slipped or knit together with a knit stitch.

yo = yarn over = bring the yarn forward between the needles and then over the right hand needle to the back again before you do the next stitch

yotog = knit the yo together with the next knit stitch
